SENATOR DON HUMASON
Hello! My name is Senator Don Humason and I am the new State Senator for the 2nd Hampden & Hampshire Senate district proudly serving Agawam, Southwick, Granville, Tolland, Russell, Montgomery, Southampton, Easthampton, Westfield, Chicopee (7, 8A, 9A), and Holyoke.
Please allow me to introduce myself: I was born and raised in Westfield. I attended Westfield public schools and graduated from Westfield State College in 1989. I have been a tobacco picker, a camp counselor, a chimney sweep, a mental health crisis worker, a Judo instructor, a court security officer, a legislative staffer, a State Representative, and a Justice of the Peace. I am the son of a firefighter and a nurse. My wife Janice and I have a 2 ½ year old son named Quinn.
I was elected last November in the special election to succeed Mike Knapik and was sworn in by Governor Deval Patrick in the Senate Chamber at the State House on November 20, 2013. Now I’m settling in to my new position and making my rounds throughout the district to meet my constituents and listen to their thoughts and concerns.
I’d like to thank this publication for allowing me to write this column which I hope to submit monthly as a way of keeping you, my constituents, informed about things happening at the State House and around the Senate district.
I’m also settling in to my new office at the State House since I had to move out of my House office and into a Senate office. My staff is in place and I wanted to give you their names and how to contact us if I may ever be of service to you.
My Chief of Staff and Scheduler, Maura Cassin McCarthy and my District Legislative Aide, Andrew Renfro may be reached at my District Office, 64 Noble Street, Westfield, MA 01085, (413) 568-1366.
My Boston Legislative Aide Patrick Healy and my Legislative Director Don Siriani may be reached at my Boston office, State House Room 213A, Boston, MA, 02133, (617) 722-1415.
My email is [email protected]. My website is www.DonHumason.org. You can also find me on FaceBook.
Next month I will write about my legislative committee assignments and the state budget process which has already begun with the release of Governor Deval Patrick’s budget proposal, called House Bill 2.
Should you have any problems or need answers to a question about state government, or have an opinion on a bill or budget item that you want to give me, please feel free to contact me and my staff at your convenience. I welcome your input. Thanks very much. Have a great week!
