Boston
City Councilor Michelle Wu Praises Former Professor, U.S. Senator Elizabeth
Warren at Campaign Kickoff in Lawrence
Wu
was one of six elected officials and the only city official to offer remarks ahead
of Warren’s address.
LAWRENCE – On Saturday, Boston
City Councilor At-Large Michelle Wu offered remarks in support of her former
Harvard Law Professor and current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren during Warren’s
presidential campaign kickoff in Lawrence, MA.
Wu, who first met Warren in
2009 when the Senator was her Contracts Law professor, spoke of her experiences
both in the classroom and working on the Senator’s 2012 campaign as
Constituency Director.
“Know this: when Senator Warren
sees someone in office who doesn’t represent the people, she doesn't accept it;
she gears up for a fight,” said Councilor Wu. “We've seen her start campaigns
as the underdog before. We've seen her bring bold ideas that ignite the
grassroots before. We’ve seen her win, and then turn her platform into a
foundation for changing the system, together.”
The Boston City Councilor
At-Large also described the Senator’s influence on her own run for office:
“She's inspired progressive
young people, women, first-time candidates from every background and
communities who have been left behind, to know that they can run and win
elections too. She is a major reason why I ran for office and why countless
other young people have run in Massachusetts.”
Councilor Wu offered remarks as
part of the program on Saturday, following Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera and
Suffolk County Sheriff Steve Tompkins. The speaking program also included U.S.
Senator Ed Markey, Congresswoman Lori Trahan, and Congressman Joe Kennedy.
