Boston, October 5 – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley announced that she has received the endorsement of Massachusetts Attorney General and Democratic Nominee for Governor Maura Healey in her campaign for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.
"Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley is a true champion for people and a powerful advocate for families and communities in Massachusetts’ 7th District and across our Commonwealth,” said Attorney General Healey. “I’m proud to have worked alongside her – during her time as a Boston City Councilor and now in Congress – and have great respect for her dedication to advancing justice and equity for all by organizing, advocating, and policymaking. I’m proud to endorse her campaign for re-election."
“I’m so glad to call Maura Healey a partner-in-good, and someone deeply committed to delivering for everyone in Massachusetts on issues of consequence, from education and climate change to healthcare justice and trauma-informed supports for survivors and their families,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Maura is a trailblazer, she’ll make an exceptional Governor of Massachusetts, and I’m deeply grateful to receive her endorsement today.”
