State Representative Adrian Madaro (D-East Boston) has been appointed by Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) as the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Revenue, a key legislative committee responsible for reviewing matters related to state and local taxation, revenues, and fiscal policy.
“I am honored to take on this new role as House Chair of the Joint Committee on Revenue,” said Representative Madaro. “As Massachusetts continues to navigate economic challenges and opportunities, I look forward to working collaboratively with my colleagues to advance policies that promote fiscal responsibility, economic growth, and equity in our tax system. I am grateful to Speaker Ron Mariano for entrusting me with this responsibility.”
Representative Madaro has served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives since 2015, representing the 1st Suffolk District, which encompasses East Boston. Throughout his tenure, he has been a strong advocate for working families, environmental justice, and transportation infrastructure. His leadership in these areas has prepared him to take on the important task of ensuring Massachusetts maintains a fair and sustainable revenue system.
The Joint Committee on Revenue oversees legislation related to tax laws, municipal finance, and other revenue-generating measures. As House Chair, Representative Madaro will lead efforts to evaluate and advance policies that strengthen the state’s financial foundation while ensuring that the tax system remains equitable and transparent for all residents.
Representative Madaro served as House Chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery for the past four years. During this time, he was proud to lead the Legislature’s work to pass two major bills on mental and behavioral health, including substance use treatment.
