Julie Ruggiero for Bristol County Commissioner

Today started off with our annual Legislative Breakfast at Bristol Aggie.

It was an incredible turnout, as we were honored to be joined by dozens of our incredible local current and past state legislatures to discuss topics not only pertaining to our school, but for our surrounding communities. 

It’s always a wonderful day when we get to discuss all of the incredible works happening on campus and ways to expand the educational and other resource opportunities for Bristol County and beyond.

Thank you so much to Plymouth County for hosting the “all county” commissioners meeting for the commonwealth county government yesterday. It was a fantastic and motivating meeting-full of bright ideas, thinking ahead and a necessary reminder of the importance of collaboration within the Commonwealth to continue with strong county government. We can accomplish much more when we come together and share ideas!

It was also a wonderful opportunity to experience lunch hosted by the culinary department at Plymouth South high school, they do an incredible job and everything was delicious!

Looking forward to our next meeting together, to be hosted by Dukes County!

Got to spend time going through Attleboro District Court and meeting with some of our custodial staff to view some ongoing projects, discuss potential future needs and honor the work that has been done to maintain this beautiful building!

Thank you Brian, Berlin and Sean for taking the time to give me this informative tour!

It was an honor to be at the Launch and Blessing of Marine 34, Fairhaven Fire Departments new fire boat, which will work to protect & serve the community and the Bay, together with New Bedford.

The funds for Marine 34 were obtained through federal ARPA funds, which were received by the Bristol County Commissioner’s office and distributed to all 20 cities and towns in the county for projects which would not otherwise be fiscally possible.

With Fairhaven hosting marinas, year-round boats and several waterfront communities that are not easily accessible by land; Marine 34 will be a major asset to the area.

Congratulations to the town of Fairhaven and thank you for your service in keeping the community safe!

One year ago today, was one of the most memorable, transformative & exciting days of my life thanks to all of you who voted for me in Bristol County! Coming up (on close to) one year since being sworn in, I couldn’t be more humbly appreciative of the honor of being your Commissioner in Bristol County. I look forward to many more years of serving you all, over seeing the maintenance of our county buildings and Bristol Aggie and educating/being a listening ear and voice for the whole county! 💙o

It may be summer but the Board of Trustees at Bristol Aggie are still meeting and strategizing for the upcoming school year & beyond.

With the ‘25-‘26 school year kicking off in a couple short weeks, I am excited for my first opportunity as commissioner/trustee to meet with faculty & students alike as they begin the upcoming school year. ✏️📚🏫🌾🚜
