Dru Tarr for State Representative

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Bruce Tobey today. As a city councilor, mayor, and private citizen, Bruce was committed to Gloucester. My condolences go out to the entire Tobey family and his numerous friends.

Strengthening pathways in STEM and vocational skills helps our students prepare for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

As your state representative, I will continue working to bring dollars to our schools to invest in innovative programs that give our students a real leg up in their education.

Thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to make our kickoff a tremendous success! It was humbling to see so many friends come out in support of this campaign. Together, we can keep Cape Ann moving forward and build a stronger future for everyone.

When budget debate starts in the House of Representatives this April, Cape Ann needs a representative who knows how to advocate for our priorities and can hit the ground running. I will be ready on day one to jump into the budget process and work to see that Cape Ann has a seat at the table.

Always moving forward!

Happy Chanukah to all those who celebrate! I was honored to join members of the Cape Ann Jewish community for the lighting of the first light of the Rockport menorah this evening. Even in adverse weather, a joyful and resilient crowd gathered to sing, pray, and celebrate life.

Gloucester City Hall is a unique treasure. Thank you to Maggie Rosa for giving me a tour of the bell tower, a history of the restoration efforts, and what is still needed in order to protect the building and the neighborhood around it.
