Wife. Mama. 45th Attorney General of Massachusetts. She/her.
Massachusetts teens deserve opportunities to make a difference in their communities. That's why my office granted $424k for youth jobs at local organizations promoting health literacy, environmental protection, and harm reduction. Our kids aren't just the future; they're building a better today.
I was honored to join the 109th Annual Celebration of the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament, the largest Portuguese feast in the world. MA is the proud home to the largest Portuguese population in the country. This event is a powerful reminder of immigrants’ contributions to our economy and culture.
Did you know that MA consumes 22 times more electricity than it generates? This means we rely on imported power that drives up your bills. I'm suing to protect local wind projects to generate our own energy, lower costs, and create jobs. You shouldn't pay the price of Trump's illegal wind freeze.
Cape Cod's marine ecosystem is the fastest warming body of water on Earth. Nancy, Shellfish Constable in Wellfleet, knows firsthand how climate change could devastate Massachusetts' shellfish industry. Fighting to enforce our environmental laws is about protecting our local economies and culture.
Did you know my first job was serving Fenway Franks? 🌭⚾ Now, as your Attorney General, I am proud to announce a $400k grant providing opportunities for our young people to give back to their communities. Follow along to learn more about our Healthy Summer Youth Jobs program!
It’s moving season in MA – and we’re putting property managers on notice. A property management company charged illegal, hidden new lease and lease renewal fees to tenants. We’re holding them accountable to the tune of $500k, all being returned to tenants.
Spent some time with our friends at Island Creek Oysters. Local businesses like Island Creek are not only the backbone of our economy, but the spaces and products they create are part of what makes Massachusetts so special. My office is fighting every day so that they can thrive.
Your New England Summer isn’t immune to Trump’s economy. Here are just some of the ways rising costs, inflation, and tariffs are affecting the experiences that define summer.
Utility costs are too high, and the Trump administration’s attacks on clean energy only keep us stuck in a cycle of higher costs. We’ll keep fighting for the solar and wind energy projects that create jobs and help lower utility bills for Massachusetts residents.
If you or someone you know is facing uncertainty about their immigration status, here are some trusted resources to consider before seeking legal assistance.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a crypto scam, know that my office is here to help. Recently, we recovered $10k for two residents who fell victim to scams while job searching. That's your AG in action.
As our country marks its 250th anniversary, it's more important than ever to reflect on the full story of our history. Frederick Douglass' speech, "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?,” reminds us that patriotism means doing our part to ensure our country lives up to its founding ideals.
A President holding a housing affordability bill hostage unless legislators help him steal elections isn't an Administration prioritizing affordability. It's one prioritizing power. My office has protected over $4 billion in federal funding from Trump. We'll keep fighting to lower costs.
Today, we recognize the anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. A law that reminds us of how far we've come in the fight for justice and equality, and how much work remains. My office will continue working to confront injustice and discrimination for all Massachusetts residents.
I had the pleasure of touring the Ford family's ADU to see how Massachusetts' new zoning laws are helping to fight the housing crisis. Enforcing our ADU laws means ensuring elders can age with dignity, families can put down roots, and our young people can stay where they got their education.
After yesterday's devastating SCOTUS decision on trans athletes, it's critical we remember that pride isn't just about one month. It's about how we show up every day. In Massachusetts, you never have to do it alone.
REMINDER: SCOTUS' Haitian TPS decision doesn't require employers take immediate action. Employers can await SCOTUS' final judgement and federal implementation guidance before making employment decisions affecting TPS holders. My office will continue to monitor developments and share resources.
I would not be able to serve as the Attorney General of Massachusetts, the first Black woman to hold this position and first woman of color to be elected statewide, without the guarantees enshrined in the 14th Amendment. I'll always fight to protect the promise of America for all.
My statement on the SCOTUS ruling to uphold birthright citizenship.
Every single person in Massachusetts, every employer, every health care provider, should be concerned by SCOTUS' TPS decision and the immigration policies of this Administration. Here's what TPS holders need to know:
Massachusetts’ new ADU law can help families create housing, build wealth, and age in place. If you’re having trouble getting an ADU approved in your town, you can contact my office. We’re here to help.
We’ve seen this playbook before. After the Civil War, SCOTUS decided cases that undermined our progress. The TPS decision is no different, SCOTUS disregarding clear hatred, expelling hundreds of thousands of immigrants to unsafe countries. They fought back then, and we will fight back now.
The SCOTUS TPS decision is not abstract. This will tear families apart and put lives in danger. To our immigrant brothers and sisters, we see you and we value you. Know that my office believes in government that sees the humanity in others.
NEW: I'm urging the Court to review the corrupt settlement that created Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Using your tax dollars to bail out insurrectionists and deem Trump above the law is a gross misuse of the legal system. Massachusetts knows how to stand up to wannabe kings.
Software company RealPage worked with corporate landlords to orchestrate an unlawful scheme to keep rent prices high. My office took RealPage and all the landlords to court. Now, we've reached a $7 million settlement with landlord Livcor. I won't sit by while bad actors worsen our housing crisis.
Trump is prioritizing attacking our immigrant community over keeping our economy moving. I'm urging the Court to strike down a federal rule restricting documented non-citizens from holding Commercial Drivers Licenses. This would disrupt school buses, plows, and trash pickup. I won't stand for it.
PharmaHealth fraudulently billed MassHealth, wasting critical tax dollars. Now, they'll have to pay $464,205, three times the amount they falsely billed. My office won't let anyone get away with Medicaid fraud in Massachusetts.
Happy Juneteenth, Massachusetts! Today is all about honoring Black joy, Black resilience, and Black resistance. As the first Black woman elected statewide, I am inspired by our ancestors every day as I work in community to build a truly equitable future.
We just secured a court order temporarily shutting down phantom debt collectors who robbed Massachusetts consumers of over $26k. Any debt collectors who choose to prey upon the fears and financial vulnerabilities of our residents will have to face my office in court.
Our elders shaped our communities. They deserve access to the resources they need to age with dignity. Yesterday, I was honored to join older adults in Westport for the 17th Annual Senior Services Breakfast. My office is committed to ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.
