Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my Congressional website. My staff and I have compiled information about the work I do in Washington and in the 8th Congressional district of Massachusetts.

You may learn the status of key legislation, check out what's happening in Congress on any given day and become familiar with the communities I represent. We've also provided links to sites that you might be interested in visiting.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. It is my honor to represent the people of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea and Somerville.
