Mass. Women's Political Caucus PAC Endorses Hegarty

Below is a press release from the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus Political Action Committee.

The Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus Political Action Committee is thrilled to announce their endorsement of Margaret Hegarty for the 24th Middlesex district seat. The 24th Middlesex House district includes the towns of Arlington, Belmont, and Cambridge. The primary election for this seat will take place on Thursday, Sept. 6.

“We are very excited to endorse Margaret Hegarty for state representative,” says MWPC Executive Director Priti Rao.

“Hegarty has served her community as a public servant for 20 years, advocating for the underprivileged members of her district. In the State House, she will continue to provide a strong voice for those who feel they have none. As a public servant and a lifelong resident of the district, Hegarty is keenly aware of the concerns and needs of its residents. She will work tirelessly towards long term solutions—not short-term fixes—on issues such as education, transportation, and public safety.”

“I am truly honored to receive the endorsement of the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus,” says Hegarty.

“As a public servant, I am acutely aware of the issues that disproportionally affect women and greatly value the work that the MWPC does to increase the number of women elected to office. In the State House, I will retain my deep commitment to the 24th Middlesex district, and will work to improve the quality of our schools, to preserve public transportation in our district, and to protect the best interests of our community.”

Hegarty has been a lifelong resident of Belmont, and comes from a family who has long been active in local and state politics. Since graduating law school she has served as a prosecutor, public defender, and as legislative counsel in the State House. Additionally, she has been a Town Meeting member for both Precinct 3 and 5. She graduated from Boston College and Suffolk University Law School. Hegarty currently resides in Belmont with her daughter, who attends Chenery Middle School.

The Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus Political Action Committee is a multi-partisan organization that works to increase the number of women elected and appointed to public office and public policy positions and to increase the involvement of women of all ages in the political process.
