These expectations were only heightened by the presence of doughnuts and a beautiful view of Boston and the Charles River from our spacious meeting room. Needless to say, Mr. Cunha did not disappoint. Born and raised in Somerville, Mr. Cunha attended Boston College where he interned at the State House, inspiring him to go into public service. After college he worked in sales and marketing for ten years where he learned valuable interpersonal skills and was given the opportunity to earn his MBA at Bentley University.

  • Letter from Legislators 7/14/20
    July 14, 2020 His Excellency Governor Charles D. Baker State House, Room #280 24 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02133 The Honorable Secretary Marylou Sudders Executive Office of Health and Human Services One Ashburton Place 11th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Re: Support to Accelerate Improvements in the Local Health System Dear Governor Baker and Secretary Sudders: Thank you for your all of your work on behalf of the Commonwealth, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is that government can take broad scale action quickly when we make it a priority. The pandemic has highlighted our Commonwealth’s many strengths, and also its weaknesses. It has shown us that government can rise to the occasion and create powerful, positive change to address those weaknesses and build for a better tomorrow. It has become exceedingly clear that our local public health system presents us with an opportunity for taking that broad scale action quickly in order to build a stronger Commonwealth for everyone. We were pleased to pass Chapter 72 of the Acts of 2020, An Act Relative to Strengthening the Local and Regional Public Health ​ ​ ​ ​ System (also known as the State Action for Public Health Excellence, or SAPHE, Act), this past April, and we ​ are grateful that you signed this important legislation into law. In light of lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that we must now accelerate progress more quickly toward the goals of the law. During this crisis, our local boards of health have been on the front lines of our state’s response.

    YOUTH JUSTICE VOTER GUIDE AND LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD: MASSACHUSETTS 2020 BRISTOL COUNTY WELCOME LETTER Each year, thousands of young people in Massachusetts come in contact with the juvenile justice system. These young people are disproportionately children of color, children from the child welfare system, children coming from areas of concentrated poverty, and LGBTQ children. For the majority of these young people, interactions with the juvenile justice system are overwhelmingly negative, and lead to poor outcomes and even increased delinquency. Progress in reforming our legal system into one that is fair and works to create positive outcomes for all system-involved youth, creating stronger and safer communities for everyone, is dependent on elected officials who support or oppose these reforms. This non-partisan voter guide is intended to ensure that you, as a voter, know your rights and are informed in our decisions. The primary focus of this voter guide is to provide the voting record of state elected officials currently in office. We also compiled information on resources from MassVOTE and the Massachusetts Chapter of the League of Women Voters regarding candidate forums in contested elections. This voter guide is intended for educational purposes. The above not-for-profit, non-partisan organizations do not endorse any candidates or political parties for public office.

Sal DiDomenico (Everett) mid-twenties, particularly with developmentally appropriate Rep. Daniel Donahue (Worcester) interventions. Exposure to toxic environments, like adult jails Rep. Carolyn Dykema (Holliston) and prisons, entrenches young people in problematic Sen. James Eldridge (Acton) behaviors, increasing probability of recidivism. Rep.
