FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF LABOR MARTY WALSH ENDORSES DAN KOH

 FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF LABOR MARTY WALSH ENDORSES DAN KOH

“Dan’s the get-it-done leader that we need in Congress,” says Walsh.

 

 

Andover, MA – In a surprising turn of events that will utterly shock the Massachusetts political scene, former U.S. Secretary of Labor and former Mayor of Boston Marty Walsh announced his endorsement of Dan Koh in the Massachusetts 6th Congressional District primary. 

 

"I’ve been in the fights that count — labor battles, city budgets, standing up to those who think they can hurt our democracy. Dan Koh has been with me through it all, from Boston City Hall to the Department of Labor. Dan is the real deal. When he worked for me, I saw firsthand how he fights — for working families, for fairness, for a government that actually shows up for people instead of selling them out. Dan’s the get-it-done leader that we need in Congress," Secretary Walsh said.

 

As a dad raising his two children in Andover, Dan’s fight for Massachusetts families is personal. He admires Secretary Walsh’s long career providing for communities across the Commonwealth and across the nation.

 

 

“I am just so grateful for the endorsement from my friend, Secretary Walsh,” Koh said. “We worked closely together for many years. So much of what I know about strong leadership and public service, I learned from the Secretary. Through it all, from the streets of Boston, to the hallways of the Department of Labor, to union halls and neighborhoods across the country, his confidence in me has never wavered. We’re so fortunate to have his support in this race.”

 

Koh’s campaign has gained critical momentum thanks to the support of over a dozen local community leaders, over ten union locals, and Vice President Kamala Harris, while raising a record-breaking $2M+ in its first fundraising quarter, a record for an MA House campaign.
