I'm proud to have received the endorsement of 350 Mass Act, the first MA environmental advocacy organization to endorse in MA-04. On the same day, we found out that one of my opponents opposed the Green New Deal just one year ago and even... get this... compared it to communism?

We won't let Trump use the USPS as a tool for voter suppression. Let's GOTV on or before Sept 1st & in Nov to elect Joe Biden & Kamala Harris!

Join Attorney General Maura Healey in supporting our grassroots movement by signing up to volunteer today.

Proud to stand with Raise Up Massachusetts, the Coalition for Social Justice, SEIU and the Massachusetts Teachers Association in Fall River to demand the wealthy pay their fair share to create an economy that works for all.

Trump has no problem putting his foot on the gas to give bailouts to his corporate buddies or use tear gas on Americans so he can take a photo op. But providing PPE for our frontline workers? Not so much.

As candidates, if we want the public's trust, we have EARN it, especially as Trump erodes faith in government. That's why I led the field by releasing 6 years of tax returns.

Vote-by-mail ballot applications will be sent to eligible voters TODAY! We strongly encourage you to apply to vote-by-mail.

After SCOTUS's decision to gut the contraceptive mandate from the ACA, I'm more committed than ever to taking the skills and muscle I've built fighting for affordable health care and reproductive justice and leading this fight in Congress.

Far too many Americans lay awake at night worrying about prescription drug costs.

The SCOTUS decision in June Medical is a huge blow to Trump's relentless crusade against abortion rights and a huge victory for the reproductive justice movement. Attacks on reproductive justice wont stop, so neither will we.

State Senator Julian Cyr endorses Jesse Mermell for Congress.

With Trump actively undermining our recovery efforts from a pandemic that has killed 120,000 Americans and counting, Congress has to lead an equitable recovery and fix our broken health care system. I released two plans outlining how I will do just that.

This Father's Day I spent some time going through the old radio ads that my Dad let me record at the local radio station he ran in our small rural town.

Today I #WearOrange and pledge to take on the NRA and Donald Trump to champion common sense gun safety reform in Congress. Black people are disproportionately harmed by gun violence and to truly address this epidemic, we must also take on racism and white supremacy.

No one should have to choose between earning a paycheck or taking care of themselves or a loved one. I helped secure Paid Family and Medical Leave here in MA, and I'm ready to do the same in Congress.

With less than 100 days until our Sept 1st primary, my Campaign Manager Katie is here with a message about how you can help bring our grassroots movement over the finish line. Join us today at http://jessemermell.com.

Donald Trump: For once, put workers above your own political agenda. Stop playing games and release the funding that the USPS needs to survive.

Recently I appeared on Dover Sherborn Cable TV to the discuss the ways in which our politics and our communities are being impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, and how we rebuild in an equitable way.

Last week, I spoke with Tim Caouette of Milford TV about how my roots as a municipal leader will make me a strong partner for local governments when I'm in Congress, especially as we recover from COVID-19.

To our 2020 grads: I know this isn't the celebration you had in mind, but nothing can rob you of the pride and honor that you have earned. Congratulations!

10 years ago when I worked at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, I fought to ensure that contraception was covered under the ACA. Today, SCOTUS began hearing a case that could roll back that mandate. I won this fight before, and I'm ready to do it again in Congress.

Young people are charting a progressive, equitable path forward for our nation – and we need to listen to them. So we asked Students for Jesse why they’re on #TeamJesse. Here’s what they had to say.

April has been tough, but I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together.

My oldest, dearest friend sent me a report that rattled us both. She’s the most unflappable person I know. She also has cerebral palsy & as a person with an IDD, she is likely more susceptible to COVID-19. But we need the data. And the IDD community needs resources.

Thank you to Marcia from New Hope for updating us during our Attleboro Community Conversation on how they’re supporting domestic & sexual violence survivors during COVID-19. For help, call their hotline at 800-323-HOPE or chat online at https://new-hope.org.

One of the candidates running for the House seat held by Kennedy is Jesse Mermell. The Brookline democrat, who was raised in rural Pennsylvania, told North TV during a virtual edition of the station's “Inside Government” on Tuesday that one of the issues facing this country is not only to create a strong economy, but one that is fair, as well.

The Stimulus Package passed by the US House last night is good progress, but there is so much more work that needs to be done to provide immediate relief and ensure that we come out of the COVID-19 crisis with an economy that is fair and equitable for all.

Earlier this week, Massachusetts Climate Strike asked me how the flaws in our current healthcare system disproportionately impact frontline and vulnerable communities, and how I will address this issue in Congress. Here’s my response.

On Earth Day, I'm reflecting on how our failure to act on environmental & climate justice has impacted us all, and disproportionately hurt communities of color & low-income communities. I'm ready to continue my fight to protect our planet in Congress.

We must take immediate action to ensure that our electoral system is accessible, free, fair and safe for everyone.

Suffolk County Sheriff Steve Tompkins endorsed Jesse Mermell during a community conversation about protecting the most vulnerable, including those who are incarcerated, during COVID-19.

Virtual campaigning certainly comes with some bumps along the way, but at least we can laugh about them! Please enjoy what I expect to be the first of many bloopers videos.

There are many great organizations supporting MA-04 during this crisis, and if you are able I hope you will consider making a contribution.

Never participated in a Passover seder by Zoom before, but there’s a 1st time for everything! Grateful we’re finding new ways to come together & honor old traditions. Finding hope in the resiliency of the Jewish people - something we all need right now. Chag sameach!

People of color are being disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 as a result of centuries of structural racism in this country. I'm standing with Senator Warren and Congresswoman Pressley to call on HHS to collect comprehensive racial data about the virus.

We're all wondering how we can support the mental health of our doctors, nurses, and first responders these days. Here's some expert advice from Taunton City Council President and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Barry

Taunton City Council President Barry Sanders underscores the importance of looking out for signs that our loved ones may be struggling and being gentle with ourselves during this stressful time. Definitely advice that we could all use right now!

I'm thinking of those who are currently isolated in their homes with domestic abusers. Help is available – you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, text LOVEIS at 22522, or log onto http://thehotline.org for an online chat feature.

Hitting the pause button for a moment to acknowledge what we are all going through. We can and will get through this together by supporting one another and advocating for a just and efficient response.

Republicans will take advantage of any situation to push their radical, anti-choice agenda – even a pandemic. Thank you to the abortion providers, Planned Parenthood, and many more who are fighting back.

Jesse was interviewed on NECN by Sue O'Connell.

My message to parents: Thank you. And we're here for you. Please share with us resources that every parent should be aware of during this time, and we will amplify them.

When I saw a photo of nurses wearing garbage bags & reused masks bc they don't have enough PPE, I thought of my grandma who was a nurse at an evacuation hospital in WWII. We must give our nurses the resources and support they need to fight this virus.

The Stimulus Bill is imperfect, but four Republican Senators are currently holding it hostage because they want to make things harder for working people in this country. We must take this critical step forward to provide relief for the American people, now.

Real leadership is inclusive and centers the most vulnerable among us. That’s not what we're getting from the White House, but I know it’s how the people of MA-04 are responding to this crisis. We will help our neighbors, consider vulnerable communities, and get through COVID-19 together.

Jesse discusses what it means to her to have Representative Carolyn Dykema's endorsement.

Hear Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley explain why she is part of Team Jesse!

Hear Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley explain why she is part of Team Jesse!

Jesse shows up for every community in the Fourth District.

Jesse launched her campaign in Fall River because she's committed to tackling economic inequality in Congress.

Jesse Mermell is running for Congress to stand up against the hate and backwards thinking coming out of the White House and fight for the future the Fourth District deserves.
