Greetings and happy (almost) Halloween. I hope you’ve been enjoying the season's harvest fairs and stunning fall foliage as much as I have. Another highlight: I gave the keynote address at Northeastern University’s sustainability symposium, speaking about the pending environmental bond bill and the profound importance of civic engagement for protecting our environment.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I’m proud to share the Senate passed my bill to officially designate October 15 as Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Massachusetts! More on that big win, which took place on October 15, below.
In other legislative news, the Senate plans to vote next week on a $2.6 billion supplemental budget to close out FY26. This budget authorizes millions in investments for regional transit and maternal and children’s health. It would also require simpler cancellation processes for online subscriptions and give towns and cities more flexibility to pay down deficits related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, voting is underway in advance of next week’s Election Day! You can early vote in person through tomorrow, use your mail ballot if you requested one, or vote in person on Tuesday.
Read on in this month’s Rausch Report for details on voting, upcoming happenings in the district, legislation engrossed by the Senate, events I’ve attended, and more.
