SALEM — U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton got a first-hand look Tuesday at how trade wars are affecting a small local cheese shop just around the corner from his district office in Salem, and a small family-owned high-end carbon fiber bicycle manufacturer just over the bridge in Beverly.
Both businesses’ owners say they are getting squeezed by proposed or present tariffs.
For North Shore foodies, the Cheese Shop of Salem at 45 Lafayette St. is facing up to 100% tariffs on cheese, olives and other specialty food items coming from the European Union.
BOSTON — Local leaders are asking Congress to designate a national mental health emergency hotline to help those suffering from mental illness.
Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton is calling on Congress to pass The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, which Moulton introduced with Utah Rep. Chris Stewart last week.
BOSTON — Suicide rates have reached their highest levels since the end of World War II, according to federal data, claiming an average of 20 lives a day.
Congressman Seth Moulton, D-Salem, says it's time to treat suicide like any other life-threatening public crisis, and he wants Congress to take the lead.
Moulton is co-sponsoring a proposal with Congressman Chris Stewart, R-Utah, that would establish a three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline — 988.
“Dead in the Water,” a documentary about the impact of government regulations on the New England commercial fishing industry, will have an encore screening at the Chatham Orpheum Theater Saturday, Aug. 31, at 10 a.m.
Filmmaker David Wittkower will attend the showing, which will include a question and answer session with local fishermen.
The one-hour film was shown at the Orpheum a year ago and has since played at a number of festivals and won an award at a film festival in Alaska, said Wittkower. In all, the film has won nine awards.
LYNN — The city has been reimbursed $1.2 million in federal funds for repairs to the Seaport Landing Marina, which was devastated by a February 2013 blizzard.
The funds, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Federal Disaster Aid Program, will be supplemented by a $1 million investment into the 165-slip marina from the city. The grant was announced by U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton’s (D-Mass.) office on Wednesday.
Some Boston-based suicide prevention advocates are backing a bill co-sponsored by Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton that would make 988 the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Creating an easy-to-remember three-digit number for the crisis hotline would improve access to mental health support and end stigma attached to getting that help, according to Moulton. He's a veteran who recently publicly shared that he sought help for post-traumatic stress after doing four tours of combat in Iraq.
Federal Funds Will Be Used to Make Critical Upgrades to South Station's Tower 1

Chris Stewart, a Republican, represents Utah in the U.S. House of Representatives. Seth Moulton, a Democrat, represents Massachusetts in the House.
Long before Ayanna (Change can’t wait) Pressley defeated incumbent Mike Capuano and long before Joseph (I can’t wait) Kennedy III began ruminating about a run against US Sen. Edward Markey, there was Seth Moulton.
Moulton ran against incumbent US Rep. John Tierney in 2014 and won, becoming the first candidate to defeat a sitting Massachusetts congressman in a primary since 1992. He took a lot of heat for bucking the wait-your-turn mentality that tends to dominate in Massachusetts politics, but that didn’t stop him. He went against the tide – that’s what he does.
