"You have been instrumental. You have given so much to Chelsea cultural wise, investment wise, but above all, you really did rise to the occasion when we really needed you during the pandemic. I have seen you run that vaccination site in a way that is remarkable, in a way that is respectable. I commend you for all you do."

Judith Garcia,

Massachusetts House of Representatives from the 11th Suffolk district
