| 194th (2025–26) | No post recorded | $0 | $0 (to date) |
Posts: the Legislature’s leadership and roster records as compiled for this project; where those name no post, the member’s committee chair, vice-chair and ranking roles from the Legislature’s member profiles. Stipends: additional compensation in the Comptroller’s payroll data (CTHRU dataset 9ttk-7vz6), 2016–2026; 2026 is the year to date. Stipends for 2015 are not available. Base salary is not included.
The district
10th Suffolk on its 2021 lines: 2 cities and towns, 44,990 residents (2020).
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: 41 for all state aid and 34 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.
| Session | District | Dollars | In corrective clauses | Per resident per budget, rank | Without corrective clauses, rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 193rd (2023–24) | 10th Suffolk | $929,000 | $0 | $10.33 · 53rd of 160 | $10.33 · 50th of 160 |
| 194th (2025–26) | 10th Suffolk | $869,000 | $0 | $19.31 · 23rd of 160 | $19.31 · 23rd 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.
| Session | District | Placed in the district | Per resident per budget, rank | Everything placed | Per resident per budget, rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 193rd (2023–24) | 10th Suffolk | $2.6M | $28.55 · 16th of 160 | $2.6M | $28.89 · 18th of 160 |
| 194th (2025–26) | 10th Suffolk | $1.2M | $26.61 · 20th of 160 | $1.4M | $31.84 · 21st of 160 |
Budget amendments
William F. MacGregor sponsored 13 budget amendments in FY2017–FY2026, asking for $1.1 million in all.
Amendments sponsored
13
FY2017–FY2026 budgets
Adopted, known outcomes

9 of 12
Chamber rate, same ask sizes
62%
expected at the chamber’s rates
Of the 12 with a known outcome, nine were adopted (75%). At the chamber’s adoption rate for amendments of the same size, about seven (62%) would have been.
| Year | Amount | Enacted budget text (excerpt) | Amendment |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | $250,000 | “Parkway in Motion, Inc. to provide programming for seniors in the southwest neighborhoods of the city of Boston” | H4000 #760 |
| FY2025 | $250,000 | “Parkway in Motion, Inc. to provide programming for seniors in the SW Boston neighborhoods” | H4600 #84 |
| FY2026 | $50,000 | “Rose's Bounty Food Pantry to help fulfill food insecurity needs for residents of the southwest neighborhoods of the city of Boston” | H4000 #764 |
| FY2025 | $38,000 (shared two ways) | “Parkway little league baseball in the West Roxbury section of the city of Boston for infrastructure and operating costs” | H4600 #85 |
| FY2026 | $25,000 | “The Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of the city of Boston for programming and operations” | H4000 #771 |
Strong matches: 7 enacted items, $648,000 (the member’s share where several amendments claim one clause). House attribution is inferred throughout, because the House adopts most amendments inside consolidated amendments.
12 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
William F. MacGregor filed 18 bills as lead sponsor in these sessions; one was enacted on its own. In completed sessions, 0% of their lead bills were enacted on their own, against a chamber median of 4% 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.
| Session | Chamber | Lead bills | Enacted | Folded into an enacted bill | Sent to study | Reported favorably, then died | Pending (session open) | Enacted rate | Chamber median | Cosponsored |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 193rd (2023–24) | House | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0% | 4% | 87 |
| 194th (2025–26) | House | 17 | 1 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 9 | 6%* | 1% | 102 |
Enacted bills as lead sponsor
- H4740 (194th): An Act directing the city of Boston police department to waive the maximum age requirement for police officers for Ryan Cazeau · Chapter 50 of the Acts of 2026
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.

Votes are facts; no score is computed.
