Boston, July 11 - Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley today endorsed Attorney General Maura Healey to be the next Governor of Massachusetts.

In a moment when so much is on the line - from abortion access and reproductive freedom to economic opportunity and the accelerating impacts of climate change - we need leadership in the corner office on Beacon Hill committed to making real, positive change for everyone in Massachusetts. I’m proud to endorse Maura for Governor, and I look forward to joining her in the work ahead.”
“Congresswoman Pressley is a powerful and inspiring advocate and leader for justice and equity who centers her work on lifting the voices and experiences of the people she serves,” said Attorney General Healey. “We’ve stood by each other throughout our careers, and I’m deeply honored to receive her endorsement in our campaign for Governor today. I look forward to partnering together to advance policies that will make life better for all Massachusetts residents.”

During her time in office, Congresswoman Pressley has introduced landmark legislation to combat the crisis of childhood trauma, codify the right to abortion and comprehensive reproductive care, abolish the federal death penalty, fix our broken clemency system, cancel student debt, and more.
