Table of Contents

The following was submitted by the Office of Sen. Jason Lewis: 

State Sen. Jason Lewis will be holding a virtual town hall meeting to provide an opportunity for his constituents to learn more about the fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Massachusetts state budget process and to answer any questions that they may have about the budget or other issues.

The town hall will be held on Monday, June 23, from 7-8 p.m. The event will be live-streamed on the senator’s YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/FY26TownHall) and a recording will be available after the event.

Lewis will provide a brief description of the budget building process before opening up the event for questions from the public about the budget or other topics.

The Massachusetts Senate approved its $61.4 billion FY26 state budget proposal on May 22, 2025 to continue supporting Massachusetts residents and invest in the state’s future. The fiscally responsible budget passed with bipartisan support and safeguards the state’s financial health, protects the state’s most vulnerable residents, and makes investments that reinforce the Commonwealth’s economic vitality in the face of mounting federal threats.

A conference committee is being appointed to reconcile differences between the versions of the budget passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, before being sent to Gov. Maura Healey for her signature. 

To learn more about this process, ask questions about the budget, or bring any other questions or concerns to Lewis, attend the virtual town hall meeting on June 23.
