Representative Ferrante meets with representatives from the farming, fishing, and lobster industries at the State House

Throughout the 5th Essex District, Essex, Rockport and Gloucester, is a history of farming and horse breeding, horse riding and horse stables. As a part of Ann-Margaret’s commitment to fishermen and farmers, she worked closely with House Leadership as the Vice Chair of the Committee on Natural Resources, Environment and Agriculture to carve out a special section in the casino bill to serve as an incentive to breed more Massachusetts horses and as a result providing increased income to Massachusetts farms.
