Cindy F. Friedman was elected to the Massachusetts Senate on July 25, 2017, to represent the Fourth Middlesex District, which includes Arlington, Billerica, Burlington, Woburn, and precincts 1-2 and 4-7 of Lexington. Prior to becoming a state Senator, Cindy worked as a public school teacher, an executive in the high-tech industry, and later served for nearly a decade as chief of staff to the late Senator Ken Donnelly.
It is essential that we have programs in place for our veterans when they return home from service. Those who make the ultimate sacrifice to serve on the front-lines to protect our country deserve the utmost care and support from our Commonwealth. As your state Senator, I will make it a priority to combat veteran’s homelessness and unemployment, expand benefits and support services, and ensure that our veterans are getting the treatment they need to manage their physical and mental health and well-being. I look forward to serving as a powerful voice for our veterans and their families on Beacon Hill.
