The district

20th Middlesex on its 2021 lines: 4 cities and towns, 44,766 residents (2020).

North Reading 35% · Lynnfield 29% · Reading 21%, 38% of the town · Middleton 15%, 68% of the town

Percentages are each place’s share of the district’s 2020 residents; for a town split between districts, the share of the town inside this one follows.

Population-weighted Fairness Index of the district’s cities and towns: 34 for all state aid and 36 for discretionary money (50 is a fair share).

Local earmarks are counted three ways. District money uses the first, clauses that name a place in the district; the second table adds organizations located in the district (placed in the district) and state facilities located there (everything placed). Three ways to count a local earmark.

District money, first measure: enacted earmarks in clauses naming a place in the district, by session (district money, not the member’s)
Session	District	Dollars	In corrective clauses	Per resident per budget, rank	Without corrective clauses, rank
189th (2015–16)	20th Middlesex	$75,000	$0	$1.67 · 113th of 160	$1.67 · 109th of 160
190th (2017–18)	20th Middlesex	$312,000	$0	$3.47 · 99th of 160	$3.47 · 99th of 160
191st (2019–20)	20th Middlesex	$363,000	$0	$4.04 · 71st of 160	$4.04 · 68th of 160
192nd (2021–22)	20th Middlesex	$700,000	$22,000	$7.79 · 63rd of 160	$7.55 · 65th of 160
193rd (2023–24)	20th Middlesex	$680,000	$0	$7.60 · 73rd of 160	$7.60 · 70th of 160
194th (2025–26)	20th Middlesex	$413,000	$0	$9.22 · 49th of 160	$9.22 · 47th of 160

District money is where enacted earmarks land, by the place a clause names, mapped to districts by 2020 population; it is not attributed to the member and does not include leadership’s base-text money that names no place. Ranks are of district money per resident among the chamber’s districts, 1 = most. “In corrective clauses” is the part carried by a Ways and Means chair’s corrective amendments, which is leadership’s money; the last column gives the per-resident figure and rank without it. Sessions are labeled by the General Court that enacted each budget. Per-resident figures use the district as drawn for each session (2011 lines through the 192nd General Court, 2021 lines from the 193rd), so they will not equal a session’s dollars divided by the resident count above.

The same district on the other two measures, by session (enacted; includes any corrective-clause money)
Session	District	Placed in the district	Per resident per budget, rank	Everything placed	Per resident per budget, rank
189th (2015–16)	20th Middlesex	$75,000	$1.67 · 120th of 160	$75,000	$1.67 · 123rd of 160
190th (2017–18)	20th Middlesex	$312,000	$3.47 · 106th of 160	$312,000	$3.47 · 112th of 160
191st (2019–20)	20th Middlesex	$413,000	$4.59 · 86th of 160	$413,000	$4.59 · 91st of 160
192nd (2021–22)	20th Middlesex	$1.1M	$11.69 · 44th of 160	$1.1M	$11.69 · 47th of 160
193rd (2023–24)	20th Middlesex	$1.1M	$12.62 · 53rd of 160	$1.1M	$12.62 · 61st of 160
194th (2025–26)	20th Middlesex	$663,000	$14.81 · 36th of 160	$663,000	$14.81 · 41st of 160

Budget amendments

Bradley H. Jones, Jr. sponsored 446 budget amendments in FY2017–FY2026, asking for $895 million in all.

expected at the chamber’s rates

Of the 208 with a known outcome, 77 were adopted (37%). At the chamber’s adoption rate for amendments of the same size, about 70 (34%) would have been.

Largest enacted items matched to an amendment Bradley H. Jones, Jr. filed (strong text matches)
Year	Amount	Enacted budget text (excerpt)	Amendment
FY2020	$4M	“modify or create shelter units suitable to meet the needs of households with disabilities requiring reasonable accommodation”	H3800 #1077
FY2019	$2.8M	“the District Local Technical Assistance Fund established in section 2XXX of chapter 29 of the General Laws, including projects that encourage…”	H4400 #731
FY2021	$1M	“an incentive program for communities and municipalities engaging in the use of best practices determined by the community compact cabinet created by…”	H5150 #498
FY2020	$60,000	“the town of Reading for the purchase of an elder and human services van”	H3800 #586
FY2025	$50,000	“restoring the Bare Meadow conservation area in Reading”	H4600 #707

Strong matches: 36 enacted items, $9.1 million (the member’s share where several amendments claim one clause). A further two weaker text matches are not listed; attribution is inferred from amendment text and is less certain there. House attribution is inferred throughout, because the House adopts most amendments inside consolidated amendments.

77 outcomes are inferred by matching amendment text to the House’s consolidated amendments, because the House records most amendments only as “Consolidated A–G.” Ask size is the larger of the earmark dollars and the line-item change an amendment requests; bands: no dollar amount, under $50,000, $50,000–$250,000, $250,000–$1 million, $1–5 million, $5 million or more. Leadership’s unattributed base-text and corrective-amendment money is never assigned to a member. The comparison describes outcomes; it is not a measure of merit.

Bills sponsored

Bradley H. Jones, Jr. filed 814 bills as lead sponsor in these sessions; 36 were enacted on their own. In completed sessions, 5% of their lead bills were enacted on their own, against chamber medians of 3% to 7% for the same sessions.

Most bills die in every legislature, and many policies pass inside other bills; the chamber median for the same session is the fair comparison.

Bills filed as lead sponsor, by session and outcome

Outcomes are the furthest point each bill reached in the record. “Folded into an enacted bill” means the history names the enacted bill that absorbed it. “Passed both branches; no chapter recorded” means the bill was enacted by both branches and laid before the Governor, with no chapter or veto in the history; in the 194th General Court such bills are shown as laid before the Governor (pending). The 194th General Court is in session until January 2027, so its open bills are pending, not dead, and its rates (*) are not comparable with completed sessions. Chairs and leaders control the calendar, which raises their rates. Source: malegislature.gov bill histories.
