here in massachusetts, we are blessed. under a culture led by our governor, where good people served for the right reasons. we need more of them. we need more charlie baker's. [applause] people who run for office and not for political points but to better the lives of their neighbors, charlie baker is the governor we deserve at a time when we need him most. charlie baker, my partner, my friend, has shown you a different way to conduct yourself in public life. one that is far too rare and politics today. hard work, attention to detail, compassion, honesty, i could be going on and on but i'll be preaching to the cry -- choir. we are not done yet. our recovery is on the way. this team and this governor will continue to rise to those challenges. [applause] now you know we may have tom brady and tampa, but when it comes to governing, we still have our goat.

on so many issues, massachusetts led the way. we had the largest small business grant program in the country. constructed with the state legislature, this program funneled over $700 million to over 15,000 small businesses. the vast majority were owner-operated, and half were owned by women, and almost half were owned by people of color. no other program like it in the country. [applause] our eviction diversion program, which began before the feds stepped in, has pumped almost $500 million into rental and mortgage assistance programs, making it one of the largest in the country. eviction hearings are down dramatically, and so is demand for emergency shelter and temporary housing. our food insecurity programs served millions of residents across the commonwealth and brought together partners and providers, ranging from foundations to farmers' markets to food banks. and the knowledge gained has created new, permanent investments and better approaches to supplying and distributing food to those who need it.

[applause] throughout this pandemic there has been no shortage of things we just don't know. it is easy to get lost in that. we should also remember what we do know. vaccines and all the other resources that we now have available to us work. the chance of suffering serious illness in someone that is vaccinated is very, very small. i want to give a special shout out to be vaccinators from across the commonwealth who stepped up to support their fellow residents. [applause] thousands of people got this done and made it possible for massachusetts to be that national leader in this critical effort and it is the most reliable and fastest path forward toward normal. i asked manny lopes to join us tonight. [applause] their partnership and what t

[applause] thousands of people made it possible to be that national leader in that critical effort that is the most reliable path forward. i asked the boston health l center ceo and the executive director to join us tonight. [applause] their partnership and the trust they have earned over many years made a major difference there. vaccination rates of all three communities and challenges come close to or exceeds statewide averages. we areef so grateful for all the work year team has done. thank you. there is an old ex

i just don't like how the republican who was representing massachusetts at the time voted. so i looked around realized i didn't think there's anybody who was really going to take him on and beat him. and i didn't know anything about running for office, but a couple of people encouraged me i said, you know, i may just do this. and then what happened was that lots of people called is that i really like you i think you'd be terrific. but massachusetts is not going to elect a woman for senator. it's just not going to happen. and i thought about not running. and then i thought you know. you don't get what you don't fight for? so i jumped in the race and heard more about how massachusetts is not going to like the woman senator. they never had haven't had a woman governor. this was you know, only 10 years ago, but man, it feels like a five generations ago. and so i thought well, i'm going to make every day count. and the way i'm going to make it count. is every time i see a little girl, i'm going to drop down on one knee. i'm going to say, my name is elizabeth, and i'm running for

in townsend that massachusetts townsend was physically massachusetts and spiritually outside of new hampshire into boston and had a rich history. and what i accumulated and older folks it was very lucky, was a company for very long time my grandfather worked there and it was classic there was a house on the hill in the house is called windy crest who worked as a maid at windy crest who gave me an opening then i got to know the presidents. in particular those were the histories that breathed into biography although i think are inseparable. i thought a very poignant instance in 1960s the world had moved on it didn't need a lot of barrels anymore in the presidents had to close this enormous what i live to see complex of buildings that comprised this barrel making enterprise. the last of the family responsible for the company and was a man named stanley and stanley was a classic seemingly emotionally distant a bit remote, a condition that was probably exacerbated by his status. i thought even more so by the feelings that he entertained no doubt feelings of guilt and failure that would fall into h

polo sandoval, cnn, boston, massachusetts. >> let's get the latest on the storm. joining me now is meteorologist derek van dam. the pictures were incredible. plenty of people still digging out and in the dark. how bad was it and is there anymore to come? >> yeah, this was an historic storm. we've got the numbers. i'll show them to you in just one moment. if we just go back 24 hours, this map looked a lot different along the eastern seaboard. we had over 70 million americans under winter warning alerts. and last night, we had about 16 million, and now only 1 million or just under that remain across northern maine. you can see what's left of the storm and the latest radar, not too impressive, at least in terms of the amount of snow coverage you see on the radar, but believe me, it is still snowing and still blowing, because wind gusts here are equivalent to that of a blizzard bringing snowfall in those areas to be impressive amounts. we did tie the single day snowfall total in boston. so many people wanted to know, will rebreak it? we ended up tying that 2003 record

. >>> we want to go to massachusetts now where they are falling the brunt of this powerful nor'easter. more than two feet of snow could fall in the state before the storm wraps up there and it's already knocked out power for more than 100,000 residents. chris pollone is in boston with more on this, chris, they're dealing with this two feet of snow, no power, and on top of that, brady retiring, that's just another whopper for a lot of folks in massachusetts. of course a lot of patriots fans. nonetheless, a lot they're dealing with right now. talk me through what you're seeing on the ground there, west-wise. >> reporter: yasmin, this might be a little too personal, but i have been working through some feelings over the past hour since this announcement was made, and i have been thinking about whether the storm or brady's retirement is fazing people more here in massachusetts. they're used to this. their not used to an nfl where tom brady the not playing, especially a male reporter, 47 years of age, who grew up in this area and lived here for most of my life, so i'm having a moment here.

still tens of thousands of people without power across massachusetts. mostly along the south shore and cape islands. those community hit particularly hard. here is the lieutenant governor karen polito. >> many restorations have been made, thanks to the utilities. prestaging, having crews available, made the difference to turn on power where they could. reporter: those big wind gusts and the flooding hitting hard here across massachusetts. you can look at some incredible video off nantucket the island. ocean waters surging into the downtown neighbors. you're looking at easy street. thankfully the waters in the downtown area have receded on nantucket island. a few streets are still frozen. the warming center is open at nantucket high school. logan airport, a big jumbled mess. lots of cancellations and lots of delays as well at jfk and laguardia. that is something to clean up in the days ahead. a gorgeous day, a lot of frolicking, sledding. tomorrow will be a better one as well. not too cold. we'll see a lot of the snow getting up and out of the way. thank
