Embarrassingly few races in Massachusetts are going contested this year, but I am proud to endorse a slate of candidates across the state for their primary races. I believe it’s essential to support a broad coalition of lawmakers with different backgrounds and similar visions.
@RobConsalvo (14th Suffolk) is the real deal, and the steady, informed expert on education that Beacon Hill greatly benefits from having. We should send him back for another term!

@JovanLacet (12th Suffolk) is a tailor-made candidate for the State House. A former Marine, and current attorney, he is qualified and ready to take office in January.Show this thread -
@RoweforRep (12th Worcester) understands the urgency of the climate crisis, and she has the strongest plan among the field to stop emissions & insulate Massachusetts from the worst of the crisis. I’m delighted to endorse her candidacy, even though I’m far outside her district.Show this thread -
@Barber4StateRep (34th Middlesex) has experience, and understands the pressing need for an ambitious green energy infrastructure, which is why I would vote for her if I lived in her district. Go Christine!Show this thread -
@TedPhilips (8th Norfolk), a former state house aide, has called climate change the “single biggest threat to our future,” and he’s 100% right. Although I live in the other half of Stoughton (out of his district), I hope he wins his primary.Show this thread -
@CivilTamisha (6th Norfolk), running against my own state rep, is the better choice for 2020. I’ll be voting for her because I believe she’ll bring the change we need. Her vision to improve MassHealth is spot on.Show this thread -
@Jarred4MA is a bold, progressive, green candidate that I’m thrilled to support in his race to throw out our incumbent state senator. As a former candidate in that district myself, I know he is a fantastic fit for the diverse people of Norfolk, Bristol, and Plymouth district.Show this thread -
Jimmy Coughlin (no Twitter?) is the only Democratic candidate for Norfolk County Sheriff with law enforcement experience, which makes him a shoe-in for this job. I’ll be voting for him, and I’m happy to endorse him.

Brad Croall is running for Norfolk County Treasurer, and I appreciate his finance-heavy background and his valuable experience on the Quincy City Council. I encourage you to vote for him.

@NealForCongress (#MA2) is a solid Democrat who understands the nature of compromise and puts climate first. His platform is reasonable and I would like him to continue his work in Washington with another term. (The late John Lewis’ endorsement helps, too.)Show this thread -
@DrNataliaLinos (#MA4) is an underdog candidate with equal parts foreign policy and healthcare experience. I don’t agree with her on everything (she has a long list of issues), but I believe she’d make a better congressperson than the other contenders (and Kennedy).Show this thread -
I had the honor to chat with
@SethMoulton (#MA6) up in NH in 2019, and I know he understands how to balance a sensible agenda with the needs of the moment. He understands the value of public service and water, and I’m happy to endorse him for another term.Show this thread -
I won’t be voting in the Republican primary (nor for a Republican Senate candidate in 2020), but if I were, I’d vote for
@va_shiva, a candidate with an eclectic and surprisingly substantive issue list. I think he’s a bit too out there but he’s better than his Republican opponent.Show this thread -
My sincere and most enthusiastic endorsement goes to Senator
@EdMarkey in his primary fight VS Joe Kennedy. Ed Markey supports Medicare-for-All and the#GreenNewDeal and knows how to compromise and build bridges for the American people. He’s tough, principled, and experienced.Show this thread -
This concludes my
#Massachusetts primary endorsements. At this time, I am only endorsing people in contested primary races. Other contested races in MA didn't have a clear candidate who stood out to me above the rest. Stay safe when voting!#mapoli#masspoliShow this thread
