Today we honor our Gold Star Mothers and Families who truly know and live every day the words of sacrifice, honor, commitment and courage. I was honored as Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee to be the Senate author of four bills that were passed unanimously and bipartisan in both branches of the legislature (two signed by Governor Patrick and two signed by Governor Baker) making Massachusetts number one in the nation supporting our Gold Star Families and our Veterans. Remember our Gold Star Families every day! ⭐️🇺🇸

Dear Friends, Constituents, and Supporters:

The results of the election are in. While the outcome isn't the one we hoped for, I want you to know that representing you for the past 16 years as your State Senator has been the privilege of my life.

When I first ran for this seat in 2010, I promised to listen to this community—and take action—every single day. I hope you feel that I kept that promise. We built things together. We fought for our schools, our veterans, public safety, health care, economic development, the environment, our seniors, our youth, and our families. We weathered hard times—budget challenges,
economic turbulence, a global pandemic, and my own overseas military deployment that pulled me away from home and the State House. But we overcame these obstacles to achieve important things and we got to a better place.

The communities of the Norfolk & Suffolk District are wonderful places to live. While I believe I worked hard to serve you on Beacon Hill, I was just as proud to roll up my sleeves and work alongside you in your neighborhoods. I listened to your concerns, identified potential solutions, and then I acted to accomplish the goals that we set together. That's how we made so much progress.

To my family, staff, friends, and those who supported me over the years, thank you for your trust and counsel, again and again.

This isn't the message I wanted to write after election day, but I close this chapter with immense gratitude. Public service was never about the title. I've always sought to live a purpose-driven life. Caring for people who needed the attention of government—in big and small ways—was the purpose of my life in the legislature. I'm grateful to all who made this possible.

This community is my home. It raised me, shaped me, and gave me the honor of a lifetime. I'll be rooting for its future and will continue to serve you in different ways locally and as an officer in the US Navy. Whether it’s tomorrow, two years from now, or beyond — I'll be there when you need me!

With deep gratitude and love for the people of my district,
Mike Rush
