It is an honor to serve the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate. In an effort to continue to improve service to constituents, new features have been added to my on-line office. Constituents will now be able to initiate and follow-up on many requests on-line.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' web site offers a great number of services for the citizens of Massachusetts. We encourage all citizens to visit the site.

The legislative process on the Senate floor is governed by a set of standing rules, a body of precedents created by rulings of presiding officers or by votes of the Senate, a variety of established and customary practices, and ad hoc arrangements the Senate makes to meet specific parliamentary and political circumstances. A knowledge of the Senate's formal rules is not sufficient to understand Senate procedure, and Senate practices cannot be understood without knowing the rules to which the practices relate.
