Melrose-based State Rep. Opening Door To Constituents

MELROSE, MA —Residents will have an opportunity to meet with their state representative later this month during office hours in Melrose.

State Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian will host the event on Friday, July 24, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Milano Center on 201 West Foster St.

The office hours come after Lipper-Garabedian and State Sen. Jason Lewis secured a $50,000 earmark in the recently signed Fiscal Year 2027 state budget for exterior improvements at the senior center.

Residents who are unable to attend can still contact Lipper-Garabedian's office to discuss state matters or schedule a meeting. Constituents can reach Legislative Aide Molly Graw by email or by calling 617-722-2960.

Lipper-Garabedian will also hold office hours in Wakefield on July 24 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at the McCarthy Senior Center, 30 Converse St. The visit follows a $75,000 Fiscal Year 2026 state budget earmark secured by Lipper-Garabedian and the Wakefield state delegation to support improvements to the center's HVAC system.

Lipper-Garabedian represents the 32nd Middlesex District in the House of Representatives, which includes the entirety of Melrose, Ward 5 Precincts 2 and 3A of Malden, and Precincts 4,5, and 6 of the Town of Wakefield. Lipper-Garabedian first took office in the spring of 2020 after serving as a Melrose city councilor. She is currently running for State Senate.
