Representative Lipper-Garabedian Joins the Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators to Mark the 243 Women Elected to the Legislature on the 243rd Day of the Year B OSTON – August 31, 2025 – In February, Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian was selected as an At-Large Board member of the Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators (MCWL) in its 50th year of existence. MCWL is the longest continuously operating bicameral and bipartisan legislative caucus in the nation, embodying a rich history of collaboration across party lines to advance women’s rights in Massachusetts. As the MCWL continues its 50th Anniversary celebration, August 31 marks a symbolic milestone: the 243rd day of the year, emblematic of all 243 women elected to serve in the Massachusetts General Court. Earlier this year, MCWL launched a campaign to highlight every woman who has ever served in the Massachusetts Legislature, one woman per day throughout 2025. With just 243 women elected in the entire 401year history of the General Court – compared to more than 20,000 men, this year-long recognition honors both the trailblazers who came before and the leaders shaping our Commonwealth Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative today. The MCWL’s recognition of each of the 243 female state representatives and state senators not only pays tribute to their legacies but also underscores the work that lies ahead to build a truly representative government. Representative Lipper-Garabedian is the 212th among the 243 women who have served in the Legislature. "It is an honor to represent the 32nd Middlesex District and to work alongside my extraordinary female colleagues,” said J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. Representative Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “Throughout my time in the Legislature, I have been proud to champion bills that address issues that disproportionately affect women like the Location Shield Act, which would protect geo-location data of women making their own health care choices, and the 2024 law allowing state and local candidates to use campaign funds for childcare while candidates participate in campaign activities – authorization I put into action at my annual local fundraiser the day the Governor signed the bill into law. I remain committed and look forward to continuing to support the participation and leadership of women elected officials in the State House to ensure that diverse voices and perspectives are at every policymaking table.” Throughout the year, the MCWL has hosted events, educational programs, and legislative briefings to mark this milestone year.
