Greetings from Beacon Hill! I hope you had a peaceful and meaningful Memorial Day weekend and are enjoying these last few days of May. Last week, the Senate passed a $63.4 billion budget that invests in our towns and cities, boosts public education, promotes affordability, and advances our shared values.
Rausch Report
Over three long days of debate, during which we considered more than a thousand amendments, we unanimously passed a budget that spends our tax dollars wisely and responsibly. I’m proud to have secured $500,000 for priority projects in every town in our district, as well as numerous statewide amendments that boost our investments in civics education, women’s history, environmental protection, and more, as well as an amendment to advance democracy by enhancing candidate safety.
May is also Jewish American Heritage Month and Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. I was pleased to continue my annual social media tradition of uplifting Jewish Americans with a connection to Massachusetts. I was also honored to join my fellow lawmakers in passing the PROTECT Act to limit cooperation between ICE and state and local law enforcement, recognizing our state’s history of immigration while enhancing safety, security, and democracy for us all.
Read on in this month’s Rausch Reportto learn more about the FY27 budget and the PROTECT Act, a recap of the ways we celebrated Jewish American Heritage Month, details on upcoming June events in the district, and more.
