Thanks to everyone for making the first annual Matty's St. Paddy's Day celebration a great success. We had an overflowing room great dinner and cake from Patsy's, and raised a considerable amount for my re-election campaign.

As we enter the campaign season, I look forward to working in East Somerville to register new voters and work hard to earn every voters support and trust. I hope I can count on you to help!

On Monday I was happy to join activists from the community and the local labor unions to push for local, union hire in Assembly Square.
