On January 31, 2022, Representative Carolyn Dykema announced that she will be leaving
the legislature on February 11, 2022, after 13 years in office. The Representative has accepted the
position of Director, Policy Northeast at Nexamp, and will be joining the Boston office. Nexamp
is a leader in clean energy, offering vertically integrated solar and energy storage solutions
across the country.

It’s been the honor of my life to represent the residents of the 8th Middlesex District in the
Massachusetts legislature. After 13 years as your State Representative, I’ll be moving on to a
new challenge! While this is an exciting opportunity and a promising new chapter, it is
bittersweet leaving a role I’ve loved and the wonderful people I’ve been so grateful to serve.
The residents of Holliston, Hopkinton, Southborough and Westborough are remarkable people,
and I’ve been incredibly proud to be your State Representative. Your welfare and wellbeing have
always been at the center of my work. You trusted me to represent you, and I hope I earned that
trust every day.
There are so many thanks to go around and I’ll look forward to speaking with many of you
personally in the coming weeks. To my friends, supporters, local partners and colleagues, I’m
proud of what we’ve accomplished together. You have given me memories I will cherish forever.
To my current and past staff, you have been the heart and soul of the office and your dedication
has made a difference in the lives of countless constituents. And of course, to my family, your
love, patience, and support allowed me to pursue my passion. I couldn’t have done it without
you.

Thanks for your friendship. Please stay in touch. I won’t be going far!
