Dear Friends and Constituents,

The summer has come to an end and fall is in full swing. During the month of September, I was busy meeting with many constituents and organizations in my district. The State House is preparing for formal session to begin again in January, but the hard work is not done. As we enjoy the fall foliage and apple cider, my staff and I are working towards a productive 2019-2020 session. 

Within this e-newsletter, you will find important information about the work we've been doing regarding cancer treatment, veterans, the opioid epidemic, and more. There is also helpful information for those who will be visiting the RMV soon, as there are specific items necessary to obtain a REAL ID so make sure you come prepared. 

As always, please feel free to reach out to my office directly at (617) 722-1555 or email Richard.Ross@masenate.gov.

Sincerely,
