House Passes Legislation to Strengthen Transparency and Accountability for Ballot Question Campaigns

Ballot questions were created to give people a direct voice in government- not to give the biggest checkbook the loudest voice.
Last week, the House unanimously passed bipartisan legislation to bring more transparency and accountability to ballot question campaigns. Voters deserve to know who’s paying for the ads they’re seeing and who’s trying to influence their vote *before* they head to the polls.
The bill also establishes a commission to take a comprehensive look at Massachusetts’ ballot initiative process and recommend reforms to ensure it continues to serve voters as intended.
Proud to help lead this effort as Chair of the Joint Committee on Election Laws and grateful to my House colleagues for their support.

House Passes AI Election Regulation Bills

In February, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed two bills to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in political advertising, requiring clear disclosure when AI is used and banning deceptive communications about a candidate or the electoral process within three months of an election.
As generative AI tools become more advanced and widespread, the risk of misleading content and distorted political discourse grows. Voters deserve to know that what they’re seeing is real.
These bills are about protecting voters and strengthening trust in our elections.
As House Chair of the Committee on Election Laws, I’m proud to help lead this effort to set clear standards, guard against deceptive content, and continue strengthening our election infrastructure. Both bills have moved over to the Senate, where they await further action.
