There are precious few shelters here serving families. On Oct. 31, as the weather turns even colder, eight families will be displaced from our community - let's act now. https://csindie.com/two-shelters-for-homeless-families-are-weeks-away-from-closing-in-cambridge/25 Sep 2026 13:43 +0000at://did:plc:d3pmbbtaeeepwr7qxmo6vuow/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwdvnzqgv22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilmillerma.bsky.social/post/3mwbmnmripk2eThe legislature needs to say no to Gov. Healey. Climate change is here now - we shouldn't be subsidizing fossil fuel companies. Let's spend that $120m hiring more bus drivers, building safe bike infrastructure, and helping MA residents save gas by making it easier to leave their car at home!

Connolly voted against incentives for housing in Gateway Cities, but championed an $18M tax break for a biotech company to move to our district.
