Boston, August 16 – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley announced she has received the endorsement of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders in her campaign for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Senator Sanders is a fighter for the people and I gladly receive his endorsement,” said Representative Pressley. “The Senator has been a champion for workers and their families. He has advocated for meaningful change on issues that matter to people around the country. I’m proud of the work we’ve done together and I look forward to our continued partnership in Congress.” 

"Ayanna Pressley's time in Congress has been defined by her commitment to the working people and families of the district she represents," said Senator Sanders. "She has advocated and legislated for policies that put people first in the fights against climate change, economic injustice, healthcare inequity, student loan debt, and more. Her bold, progressive leadership in the House remains invaluable, and I look forward to continuing to work together in the months and years ahead on behalf of workers and families in Massachusetts, Vermont, and across the country."
