Auditor: 119 Sex Offender Addresses Match Child Care Providers

Suzanne — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:35:51 +0000

On March 27th, 2013, my office released an audit finding that the addresses of 119 sex offenders matched the address listed by a Child Care Provider. While the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) has the best intention to fulfill its mission, this audit shows that more can be done to protect young children.

Help Ensure Elizabeth’s Victory

Suzanne — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 03:55:55 +0000

For months now, I have been carrying Elizabeth’s message to every group of voters I can find, and I have been thrilled by their response. Democrats and Unenrolled voters alike have risen up in her support and have been canvassing and calling, identifying other voters who share her commitment to preserving our middle class.

On Tuesday, we need to make sure every one of the voters with whom we have spoken to gets to the polls by 8 pm. Please help us by visiting elizabethwarren.com/gotv.

Monday’s Senate Debate

Suzanne — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 22:32:04 +0000

In tonight’s debate, sponsored by UMass Lowell and the Boston Herald, Elizabeth Warren again demonstrated her respect for the office and her respect for the voters by talking about the real issues. She displayed a true spirit of leadership and conveyed the values that will drive her votes in the Senate on our behalf.

Our families need a senator whose vote we can count on. Reelecting Scott Brown increases the possibility of a Republican controlled Senate. The Republican agenda does not meet the needs of the people of this state. Elizabeth Warren will challenge the Republican agenda, and that is something Scott Brown will never do.

Let’s keep on working,
Suzanne M. Bump
