Dear friends, colleagues, and constituents –

I am writing to share some personal news. Upon being recently diagnosed with a medical issue, I began to undergo treatment from an experienced team of doctors at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I am fortunate to be working on a path to recovery with a highly-skilled group of medical professionals and I am confident in their care. I want you to know I am deeply grateful for my family and friends who are providing me great support and comfort at this time and I have been incredibly touched by your prayers and well wishes.

I remain deeply committed to the people of the Fifth Essex District and my work as Vice Chair of the Ways & Means Committee. I have been working closely with Speaker Mariano and Chairman Michlewitz on economic development and the post-COVID economic recovery. As always, the needs of my district are paramount in my mind. Our office continues to operate as usual and remains open to constituent concerns, as it always has been. You can always reach out to my office for constituent service needs by contacting my staff at 617-722-2370. My staff continues to work with the rest of the Cape Ann delegation to advocate for our communities. For all inquiries not related to official legislative business, please contact Carolyn Stewart at 978-314-1381 or Sheila Capone-Wulsin at 617-717-8909.

I appreciate your discretion during these times. The most valuable gift I can receive right now is one of prayer and friendship.

Ann-Margaret
