BOSTON – State Rep. Kenneth P. Sweezey, R-Duxbury, has been appointed to several key House and Joint Committees for the 2025-2026 legislative session.
These assignments will allow him to continue to advocate for public safety, economic growth, and environmental responsibility—three issues critical to the communities of the 6th Plymouth District. Representative Sweezey, who has a background as a law enforcement forensic scientist, is particularly proud to serve on the Public Safety & Homeland Security Committee. His experience gives him firsthand insight into the challenges faced by law enforcement professionals, and he is committed to supporting policies that keep Massachusetts residents safe.
“My previous work in law enforcement was a lifelong dream of mine and a point of pride, and I am excited to continue that work on the Public Safety Committee,” said Sweezey. As the son of small business owners and a former member of the Hanson Economic Development Committee, Representative Sweezey looks forward to his role on the Economic Development & Emerging Technologies Committee.
“I look forward to fostering a more competitive business environment in Massachusetts—something that is lacking at times—by keeping our small businesses in the Commonwealth and in the 6th Plymouth District,” said Sweezey. As the Ranking Minority
Member on the Environment & Natural Resources Committee, Representative Sweezey will focus on protecting the coastal communities he represents, like Duxbury and Marshfield. Recognizing the importance of responsible environmental policy, he will work to balance conservation efforts with recreation, ensuring that both natural resources and local industries are preserved for future generations. Additionally, Sweezey has been appointed as the Ranking Minority Member on the Labor & Workforce Development Committee, where he will advocate for policies that support workers, promote fair labor practices, and encourage workforce competitiveness.
“I look forward to continuing the work that former Representative Cutler has done and hope that the Undersecretary will partner to serve the 6th Plymouth” Sweezey said. “I am honored to receive these committee assignments and grateful to House leadership for this opportunity. I look forward to building strong partnerships and advancing policies that benefit both my constituents in the 6th Plymouth District and the entire Commonwealth.”
