For decades, housing costs have been increasing. We can't keep kicking the can down the road. Demand is high, and supply hasn’t kept up. So today I released our state’s first ever housing plan which will mean: 🏘 222,000 more units over the next 10 years 🔨 Bringing vacant homes back online 💸 Support for first-time homebuyers ❌ Preventing eviction and foreclosures Massachusetts is a great place. Let's make it easier to stay here.

Ahead of tonight's vote, @KimDriscollMA and I want to share our support for three outstanding candidates for DNC Vice Chair, @davidhogg111, @ArtieBlancoSays & @joepaolinojr. David, Artie and Joe will help the Democratic Party organize and mobilize around the issues that matter most to people.

RT @MassGovernor: Report cards are out — and Massachusetts is best in class 🎓 For the first time since 2017, @usedgov ranked Massachusetts…

As chair, I know that Ben will deliver — for our party, and for America. I hope Massachusetts Democrats will join me in supporting him.

Massachusetts has had a housing shortage for too long. We need to fix it.  That means helping graduates start their careers, helping families put down roots, and helping seniors stay in the towns they love. People need homes. Let’s build them.

We’re going to make it easier to start, grow, and run a business in Massachusetts. We don’t just want to lead the country, we want to lead the world.

Since taking office, we’ve invested in education and transportation, grown our economy, taken on rising costs, and protected civil rights and freedom. Today, the state of our Commonwealth is strong. Together, let’s make it even stronger.

We’ve gotten a lot done over the last two years, and we have so much more left to do. We’re going to keep meeting big problems with big solutions. Let's keep making history, and let's build a Massachusetts that works for everyone.

We’re going to keep the momentum going in 2025. Tune into the State of the Commonwealth tonight to hear about how.

Enrollment at our public colleges was declining for more than a decade. In 2023, we invested in the system and expanded financial support for economically disadvantaged students. It worked. In 2024, enrollment finally grew, reversing the trend. We’re going to build on that. In 2025, tuition and mandatory fees at all UMass campuses will be fully covered for undergraduate students from households earning $75,000 or less.

That will mean better roads, less traffic, safer bridges and a transit system that works in every region. We’re making getting around Massachusetts safer and more reliable for everyone.

Last year, Massachusetts was named the Best State to Live In and the Best Place for Women because of our economic and educational opportunities, world-class healthcare system, and commitment to public safety. We're going to continue to lead the nation by putting people first.

You shouldn’t be on the hook to pay someone who you didn’t hire. Let’s save money for renters and get rid of mandatory brokers’ fees.

Since the last State of the Commonwealth we’ve had one focus — continuing to deliver for Massachusetts.
