Happy New Year!
On Sunday, we hosted our State Senator Cindy Creem, in collaboration with Ward Two Democrats and Newton Dems, at the new Cooper Center for Active Living. Over 100 people showed up. Senator Creem talked about the many bills she has passed and her continued efforts to counter the current federal administration. Please reach out to Senator Creem and let’s keep the conversation going!
