Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke. Losing a job shouldn’t mean losing your health care. And an unexpected diagnosis shouldn’t put everything you’ve worked for at risk. Life is unpredictable. Your access to health care shouldn’t be. Health care is a human right. #MedicareForAll #AJforMA

The farther you get from the State House, the clearer the investment gaps become. Every community needs affordable housing, accessible health care, schools funded to meet students’ needs, reliable transit, and roads and bridges that aren’t crumbling. #ajforma #Massachusetts #mapoli #audit #vote

Your utility bill should not bankroll Big Tech. I’m calling for a moratorium on data centers. Clean water, reliable power, and the ability to afford a life here must come before corporate expansion. #AJforMA #Massachusetts #AI #DataCenterMoratorium #Mapoli

Putting up campaign signs in communities throughout the Commonwealth doesn’t replace showing up, and delivering for the people who live there. Don't be fooled by corporate backed marketing campaigns. #AJforMA #Massachusetts #MAPoli

Votes do not belong to the Democratic Party. They do not belong to the Republican Party. And they do not belong to any candidate. Click here: www.instagram.com/p/Dd7S0KLFM1... #ajforma #mapoli #vote #massachusetts

A powerful evening with @umlcollegedems at UMass Lowell. These students are brilliant, thoughtful, and clear about what’s at stake. Massachusetts cannot afford to educate its next generation and then price them out of a future here. #ajforma #democracy #Massachusetts #collegedems #mapoli

The irony of speaking with @kelleratlarge last week on @wbztv about transparency. All while WBZ/CBS refuse to invite me to participate in the upcoming October 8th debate with Maura Healey and Mike Minogue. Stop the information and voter suppression! To watch here: ajforma.com/media #Mapoli

We all learned about the deal when the administration announced the rollout. Where was the public discussion before the contract was signed? Massachusetts residents deserve to see the agreement and get clear answers about how our information is protected. #transparency #ai #Massachusetts

I’m running for governor because we deserve to know where our money goes and how decisions get made. If we want transparency and accountability in Massachusetts, we have to stop rewarding secrecy with another term. #mapoli #massachusetts #ajforma #audit #transparency

Andrea James @andreaforgovernor.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
I’m running as an independent because government should answer to you. Personal wealth, corporate connections, and big donations shouldn’t give a few people more say in decisions that affect all of us. Examine my platform at ajforma.com and what I stand for. Do you agree, minus the party label?

Andrea James @andreaforgovernor.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Transparency and accountability. All of us deserve answers about our privacy and tax dollars. Who was at the table looking out for the people when this deal was made? It’s Commonwealth, not Corporatewealth. #mapoli #massachusetts #transparency #ai #ajforma

For many MA students, today is the first day of school, but some favorite teachers won’t be there. This summer, I met educators cut from classrooms. Meanwhile, Fair Share raised $5.5B in FY24–25 for education and transit. Massachusetts has the money. It must reach our schools. #mapoli #ajforma

Last night, the parties had their primaries. Today, Massachusetts has three candidates for Governor. Not two. Three. That’s democracy. But you wouldn’t know it from much of the coverage. www.instagram.com/reel/DczO6Za... #mapoli #Massachusetts #vote

You can't publicly fight ICE while putting public money behind a company whose technology ice is seeking. Don't mistake messaging for action! #Massachusetts #Mapoli #politics #followthemoney #ajforma

Seven generations of my family have called Massachusetts home, five of them in Roxbury. Yesterday, I was proud to walk the Boston Caribbean Carnival with the amazing volunteers of Team Andrea and spend the day connecting with people. www.instagram.com/p/DcrNhw8lC1...

Reflecting on the years of work I’ve had the privilege to be a part of to create a shift away from the fiscal irresponsibility of building more prisons, and instead invest in communities, and the support and guidance I’ve received over the years to do that work. Onward. #ajforma #Massachusetts

According to Census data with Massachusetts' own financial statements. Massachusetts has one of the largest and wealthiest economies in America (Google it). Affordability can’t just mean getting by. People should be able to build a life here, not just survive from one paycheck to the next. #mapoli

Massachusetts, we’ve got 74 days! The establishment and other candidate may have the money, the connections, and the political machine. But we’ve got people. And now we need all hands on deck. Sign up to volunteer with Team Andrea today at Ajforma.com/get-involved #mapoli #ajforma #Massachusetts

Glad to stand in solidarity and listen to family child care providers this week. Their work is essential to Massachusetts families. The resources are there. It’s time to make sure the people doing this work are paid fairly. #unionstrong #massachusetts #childcare #Mapoli #ajforma

Small businesses are the backbone of our Commonwealth, creating jobs, building community, and keeping our cities and town alive. Massachusetts should be a place where small businesses can afford to stay, grow, and thrive. All of us. One Commonwealth. #AJforMA #mapoli #Massachusetts

I joined community members at South Bay this weekend, standing in solidarity for Schacoby Kenny. All memebers of our communities deserve dignity and safety, and the opportunity to return home to their families. Schacoby did not come home. His life mattered. #SchacobyKenny #AccountabilityMatters

No community should be asked to sacrifice its health, water or environment in somebody else's pursuit of profit. Economic development should strengthen our communities, not come at their expense. #AJforMA #PeopleOverProfit #EnvironmentalJustice #Mapoli #DataCenterMoratorium

Here in Massachusetts, formerly incarcerated people regain their right to vote upon release. Because true democracy doesn’t decide whose voice matters based on their past. It makes room for all of us. #ajforma #democracy #MAPolitics #mapoli #formerlyincarcerated #vote #themoreyouknow

ALL the candidates for Suffolk County DA got to debate yesterday. That’s democracy. I’m on the November ballot for Governor, but excluded from the debates. That’s not democracy. Let the people hear ALL their choices. #Massachusetts #democracy #mapoli #MAPolitics #ajforma

Massachusetts residents deserve clarity, not confusion. We can't claim to be leading on immigrant protections while continuing to maintain a partnership with ICE that no other Democratic led state still has. #Massachusetts #MAPolitics #mapoli #287g #ajforma

Healey says "State trimmed planned rate spikes by $72 million". So we should celebrate because the unaffordable increase is slightly less unaffordable? Massachusetts families are still paying more, that’s not a healthcare solution, it’s better PR. Universal Healthcare is a must for Massachusetts!

Every child deserves affordable child care. But $31.2 million won't get us there. It's not enough to help every family that qualifies. Massachusetts needs real investment, not performative announcements. #mapoli #universalchildcare #ajforma #Massachusetts #realitycheck

Now is the time for Massachusetts leaders to turn words of empathy into action. It's not enough to say we stand with the Haitian community while families are living with fear and uncertainty. It's all of us. One Commonwealth. #mapoli #massachusetts #haitianpride #sjc #aj4ma

The question isn't why they're being paused. The question is: if they're the wrong priority, why not end them and make billionaires and wealthy corporations pay their fair share instead? Massachusetts can afford to put working people first. #mapoli #massachusetts #datacenter #aj4ma #taxbreaks
