I’m thrilled to be joining the Malden School Committee!
There are so many projects I’m excited to work on, but first, many thanks to the good people of Ward 6 for giving me the chance to rep their interests/concerns & many thanks to this crew of volunteers, who are undefeated political organizers.

It’s an absolute honor to serve on Mayor-elect Mamdani’s transition team. We have lots of work to do, and I couldn’t be more proud to stand alongside many of my education justice comrades to help usher in a new era for NYC government!
The work is just getting started!! Let’s go!

This is good news for Malden Public Schools.
The governor had vetoed $20 million in reimbursements for public schools that lose students to charters (and then lose the funding that follows the student). The legislature just restored that $$. #Malden #MAEdu

We Asked 10 Brewers: What’s the Most Underrated East Coast Brewery? (2025)
Craft beer might be in a slight pullback at the moment, but it’s still evolving and growing at the same time, with hundreds of new breweries opening up and breaking out each year, even as others have to close down. Keeping up with all the changes can be a monumental task — even when you’re only looking at a single region, like the U.S. East Coast. But the folks who brew the ales and lagers we love always know who’s doing what, where, and why we should care.

Given that the extremists want to parents to decide what books their kids read or lessons they learn, I’d like the same power to decide how my tax dollars are used.
Seems fair, right?
