State Representative, Twelfth Suffolk District Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Welcome to LindaDorcenaForry.org

Welcome to LindaDorcenaForry.org, home of the 12’th Suffolk Partnership. This website will better connect all the residents of the 12’th Suffolk District with my office on Beacon Hill. Here you can follow me on Twitter as I work around the district and in the statehouse, check in on my blog, track legislation that I filed, keep up with community meetings, read news coming out of my office, find resources and contact my office with constituent concerns.

I hope you check in everyday or subscribe via RSS feed as we continue to build a new Partnership for the 12th Suffolk District together.

Sincerely,
Rep. Linda Dorcena Forry
