✅ A 'yes' vote would make no changes to MA law – the 2024 firearm safety law remains in place. ❎ A 'no' vote would repeal the 2024 gun safety law, rolling back current red flag laws, ghost gun restrictions, and bump stock bans.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 20h

Question 9: Firearm Safety Law Repeal This question asks whether to repeal a firearm safety law passed in 2024. The primary components of the legislation include a robust 'red flag law' provision, a crackdown on 'ghost guns' by requiring serial numbers, and a ban on bump stocks and glock switches.

While the FAA gave nationwide approval to Amazon for Prime Air, this blank check does not account for the unique landscapes and wildlife we have here in MA. I stand with our federal delegation in urging Amazon to do the work to understand how Prime Air fits – or doesnt fit – into our communities.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 20h

Thank you to Sen Elizabeth Warren, Sen Edward Markey, Rep Jim McGovern, and Rep Lori Trahan for urging Amazon to work with the FAA to dig into the environmental impacts of the company's drone proposal.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 20h

How would dozens of Amazon Prime Air delivery drones flying above Central Mass affect our neighborhoods, landscapes, and wildlife? We dont know – and neither does Amazon, because they have not done an environmental assessment. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/a...

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would repeal the adult-use cannabis law and make retail sales illegal beginning in 2028. ❎ A 'no' vote would make no changes to MA law – cannabis would remain legal for adults.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Question 8: Adult-Use Cannabis Law Repeal In 2016, MA voters made cannabis legal to possess & purchase for adults 21+. Q8 would repeal this law – adults would still be able to legally possess up to 1oz of cannabis, but recreational dispensaries must transition to medical-only or be forced to close.

Just three weeks until the midterms! In the second-to-last part of my informational series on the nine ballot questions voters will weigh in on in November, let's talk about Question 8.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Until they can meet these important concerns with tangible solutions and earn the trust of the people who live in the communities they'll affect, I must stand with my neighbors to oppose Amazon Prime Air in Central Massachusetts.

000

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Rep Kane, Rep Donaghue, and I sent a letter to Amazon asking the company to pause their drone delivery proposal until their plan better addresses my constituents' noise, safety, and privacy concerns.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

The residents that came to the last Westborough Planning Board meeting spoke with one voice: they do not want Amazon Prime Air delivery drones flying in the skies above their homes.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would lower the 62F trigger criteria and reduce state revenue limits year over year. ❎ A 'no' vote would make no changes to MA law – 62F and its trigger would remain as-is.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Question 5: Tax Revenue Collection Limit Under Chapter 62F, MA must return some tax dollars if revenues exceed a certain amount. This would change 62F’s formula so that any revenue exceeding the prior year’s revenue + average growth in wages & salaries over the prior 3y must be refunded.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would allow eligible voters to register to vote on Election Day beginning in 2028. ❎ A 'no' vote would leave state law as-is – you'll have to plan ahead if you want to vote.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Question 4: Same-Day Voter Registration To vote in MA, you must register to vote or update your registration at least 10 days before Election Day. Q4 would allow eligible voters to register at their polling place on Election Day if they can prove their residency with a photo ID or other document.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The midterms are officially four weeks away! Today, let's talk about another four: Question 4, one of the nine ballot questions that will be on your 2026 ballot.

It is for his work on the bench and his lifelong activism within the Central Mass Latino community that Luis Perez was recognized as LABO's First Latino Honoree! Thank you to LABO for organizing this fun evening of food & networking, and a huge thanks to Vejigantes Restaurant for hosting.

Such a pleasure to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Latin American Business Organization on Friday by honoring Judge Luis Perez! Born in Puerto Rico, Judge Perez was the first Boricua attorney to practice law in Worcester and went on to serve on the Worcester County Juvenile Court.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would replace MA's current party primary system with an all-party ballot. ❎ A 'no' vote would leave state law as-is – political parties would continue to operate their own primaries on their own separate ballots.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Question 3: All-Party State Primary Elections Political parties conduct their own primary elections to decide who will appear on the ballot. Q3 would replace this system with a single, all-party primary. The 2 candidates who receive the most votes advance to the general, regardless of their party.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would give CPCS employees the right to form a union if they want one. It would also require the Governor to approve any funding needed for a bargaining agreement if one is negotiated. ❎ A 'no' vote would leave state law as-is – public defenders would not be allowed to form a union.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Question 2: Public Defender Union Rights Public defenders, lawyers that provide legal representation to people who cannot afford an attorney, currently do not have the right to form a union. This question asks voters whether public defenders should be allowed the right to collectively bargain.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It would also research how biases are assessed within these AIs and how we can ensure women, minorities, and older adults aren't being discriminated against in the workplace. These protections are necessary and urgent. Lets follow California's lead and get this done for Massachusetts.

000

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I have a bill (S.49) in the Senate that establishes a commission to study how AI decision-making is being used in both the private and public sectors, and to recommend regulations on how we can protect working people from unaccountable computer systems.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

In the absence of leadership from DC, states must step up to protect workers. I'm thrilled that California has enacted robust protections for everyday working people, but we must act to defend Bay Staters from these unfair business practices too.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Artificial Intelligence is already being used to monitor worker productivity, make hiring decisions, and fire workers who dont meet arbitrary and opaque benchmarks. It is ridiculous to let computers stand in charge of humans' lives and livelihoods.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

✅ A 'yes' vote would make many records held by the Legislature & Governor's offices available to the public, giving citizens a better view into Beacon Hill's operations. ❎ A 'no' vote would keep most records held by the Legislature & Governor's offices exempt from the state's public records law.

100

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Question 1: Public Records Law Expansion The Legislature and the Governor's office are currently exempt from MA public records law. This measure would allow constituents to request some documents, including financial materials, from Beacon Hill with a response required within 10 business days.

I was so thrilled to celebrate our Certified Welcoming designation with leaders and neighbors at City Hall today. The US has always been a nation of immigrants, and I'm proud of the work we've done to help people from across the world build their own American Dream in this city.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Worcester has always been home to vibrant immigrant communities, helping drive our innovation economies and build incredible culinary and cultural destinations. Wherever they trace their roots to, our immigrant neighbors help weave the rich tapestry of Central Mass.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Worcester has been awarded a Certified Welcoming designation! This label is given by Welcoming America to cities and towns that embrace all of their residents – including immigrants – through policies and values which emphasize that everyone belongs.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Westborough & Amazon have found success together by building strong partnerships and winning the support of the community. I hope Amazon will take a step back to listen to the concerns of residents and thoughtfully address them so that we can continue this partnership with trust and mutual respect.

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The people who live in Westborough and surrounding communities have important questions about how Amazon plans to operate its drones safely, quietly, and in a way that respects their privacy – and so far, many of these questions remain unanswered.

210

Senator Mike Moore @senmikemoore.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This week, Reps Hannah Kane, Kate Donaghue, and I sent a letter to Amazon urging them to pause their planned expansion of Amazon Prime Air drone delivery into Central Mass.
