Rausch Report for Oct 2024

Rausch Report - 10/30/24 |
Dear Neighbor,
I hope you are enjoying the spectacular fall colors! The colors are certainly popping here on Beacon Hill, as are several bills on the move. Just last week, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to pass strong climate legislation that advances clean energy, modernizes the grid, and protects ratepayers.
Fall is also a special time of year for a wide variety of community events, harvest festivals, and holidays. Last week, the lights and colors of a Diwali celebration brightened the halls of the State House for the first time. This month, I and many in the Jewish community celebrated the Jewish New Year, the harvest festival of Sukkot, and other holidays. And of course, tomorrow is Halloween! I wish you and your family a very happy, safe, and slightly spooky day of candy, community, and fun.
Read on in this month’s Rausch Report for more legislative updates, a snapshot of events I’ve attended, a roundup of upcoming activities in our district, a nonpartisan election toolkit, and more.
For real-time updates, please follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. If you are a constituent and need assistance, please don’t hesitate to call me and my team at (617) 722-1555, email me at becca.rausch@masenate.gov, or attend upcoming office hours. We are here to help.
Yours in service,
Senator Becca Rausch

“I am proud to endorse Rep. Jeff Roy for re-election as the State Representative for Franklin and Medway. He has been a partner and champion on climate and energy issues, spearheading efforts to pass landmark climate and energy bills, as well as legislation to address substance use disorder, economic development, and civil rights. And he has consistently delivered critical local aid to Franklin and Medway. I look forward to continuing to partner with him."
“Representative Roy has been a highly effective and skilled legislator for more than a decade, advancing important laws addressing education, economic development, healthcare, criminal justice, and civil rights. In his role as Chairman of the Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy Committee, Jeff spearheaded efforts to pass landmark climate and energy legislation to legislation strengthening protections for survivors of abuse and exploitation. His district and the Commonwealth will benefit from his continued leadership at the State House."
“has been a partner in the work, including protecting our environment and addressing climate change. With significant local and state government experience, he is passionate about getting things done and having an impact on all of his constituents, including his seniors, students, and those often forgotten.”
“deeply appreciates your past support for law enforcement and your commitment to public safety in the Commonwealth. Your proven leadership and dedication aligns perfectly with our mission to ensure the safety of our communities and the well-being of our members.”

On behalf of nearly half a million members across the Commonwealth, we are proud to support candidates like you who have demonstrated a commitment to the values and principles of the Labor Movement, and create an economy that works for working people.”
