Governor Maura Healey reminded us how valued Senator Will Brownsberger and Representative Dave Rogers are as partners. From prison reform, immigrant, LGBTQ and reproductive protections, tuition-free community colleges, these true public servants are the best of the best.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/10/opinion/wu-property-taxes-businesses/Boston Mayor Michelle Wu recently endorsed primary challengers to state Senators Will Brownsberger and Nick Collins, two longtime incumbents. She has supported the two senators’ competition seemingly because they opposed her proposal last year to shift more of Boston’s property tax burden from homeowners onto commercial property owners.

Her argument during the high-profile falling out was that the senators were failing to protect Boston residents from rising property taxes that would make homeownership in Boston unaffordable. But the assumption that affordability is being hampered by high residential property tax rates is not supported by the latest independent data

New data show Boston homeowners are already among the least-taxed in the country, while businesses carry a disproportionate share of the city’s property tax burden.

Cabell Eames and I wrote this endorsement for Will Brownsberger: Dear Neighbors,

We strongly support Senator Will Brownsberger for re-election and urge you to vote for him.

As co-chairs of the Belmont Democratic Town Committee, we have spent years working with and for elected officials. Will represents the very best of public service, bringing a rare combination of deep policy expertise and accessibility to the Suffolk and Middlesex District.

Our combined lived experience brings a diverse perspective and high expectations for our representatives. We look at leadership through the lens of effectiveness and authenticity. On every front, Will delivers.

Locally, Will has delivered increased state aid for Belmont Schools. He has solved problem after problem to keep Belmont's community path project moving forward. He has delivered critically-timed aid to support the new rink and library and has helped the town close funding gaps again and again. He also has effectively moved Belmont's home rule petitions in areas like additional liquor licenses, property tax assistance, and adjusted retirement classifications for Belmont public safety employees. Because of Will, bus riders in Belmont and Watertown have dedicated bus lanes.

Statewide, Will played a leading role in major criminal justice reform, which cut the prison population by 30-50%. He was also a key architect of the 2020 police reform law, which created one of the strongest police oversight agencies in the country. He has been a consistent advocate for transparency and accountability at the state level, allowing everyone to see how state money is spent.

As a pioneer in decarbonization and climate resilience, Will continues to lead local and regional efforts to protect homes from climate-driven flooding.

Massachusetts, like every state, is facing strong economic headwinds. We are grateful that Will's keen intelligence, collaborative work ethic, and years of experience will help the state navigate this uncertainty. We also benefit from his independence, which sometimes creates friction with other leaders — but in our opinion, that's exactly what makes Will more effective and responsive to his constituents, rather than beholden to those who dislike being challenged.

For the thousands of us who have sought out his help over the years, we know that Will treats every single person with dignity and a commitment to serve.

We ask that you join us in support of one of the most hardworking, effective, and moral leaders in the state.
