State Senator Adam Gomez (D-Springfield) is a lifelong native of western Massachusetts. He is a proud Boricua, a father of three, a former small business owner, and a tireless advocate for Veterans and Black and Latino communities. He is also the first Latino from the Hampden District to serve in the Massachusetts Senate.
His personal beliefs and experiences have driven his years of advocacy work for social justice issues such as criminal justice reform, immigrant rights, education issues, and civil rights. He has served as a member of various boards for local organizations in his District, many of which directly serve the Latino community. Prior to becoming a Senator, he served as a Springfield City Councilor.
Senator Gomez proudly serves the Hampden District, consisting of the three communities: Springfield, West Springfield, and Chicopee. He serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Children, Families, and Persons with Disabilities and Vice-Chair of the Joint Committee on Election Laws.

President's Message
Maurice Powe
I want to extend a special thank you to all who participated in the Rotary Day of Service on April 9, 2022. It was a great day where the Springfield Rotary Club made a real difference in the community. Last week we celebrated Earth Day. Rotary members are tackling environmental issues by coming up with projects and using their connections to change policy and planning in our community. Get involved with a local effort to clean up a neighborhood or the riverfront. This Friday, we welcome Senator Adam Gomez to our club meeting. Bring your questions for the Senator.
Next Monday, May 2, 2022, we will serve at the Friends of the Homeless.
