Beginning a New Session

Under the Constitution, the General Court is required to convene on the first Wednesday of January each year. That event took place on January 4 this year, marking the beginning of the 193^rd General Court. It was my honor to be sworn in for a second term as the State Representative for the 5^th Barnstable District.

Due to legislative redistricting, this term also marks a slight change to the 5^th Barnstable District, which now includes: Precincts 10, 11, and 12 of Barnstable; Precincts 1, 2, 3, 5A, and 7 of Bourne; and the entire town of Sandwich.

I also was honored to attend the swearing in of a new Governor and other constitutional officers in the following days.

I am very proud to report that I maintained a perfect voting attendance record throughout 2023, participating in all 70 roll call votes recorded in the House of Representatives between February 1, 2023, and November 15, 2023.
