Senator Brownsberger is visiting all eight regions of the Commonwealth Conversation tour crossing the state between February 4 and March 11. The tour, including a Metro Boston session he will lead on March 4, will be an opportunity for senators to listen directly to residents, businesses, and interest groups, and then come together in shared leadership to craft an agenda for the next legislative session.

Apply now to attend the Spring Citizens’ Legislative Seminar
The 74rd Citizens’ Legislative Seminar will be held on Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29. This is a great opportunity for residents to get a firsthand look at how the legislative process works, and have a better understanding of state government. Senator Brownsberger encourages his constituents to apply to attend the seminar.

Most commuters cannot afford wasting hours of their life each day on an outdated transportation system.
