Braintree Candidate Alzaim Meets Potential Senator Elizabeth Warren

This past Tuesday night, Braintree School Committee got a chance to meet one of the biggest political names in the state and the country at the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus Annual Abigail Adams Awards, held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.

"Elizabeth Warren is incredible," Alzaim said in an email. "She was extremely down to earth, and took the time to talk to the different constituents that were there. I've already read her book, so it was an honor to meet her."

Alzaim previously interned for and worked with the MWPC and she was there helping out. More information about her campaign in Braintree can be found at her new, interactive website: www.shazaforbraintreeschools.com.

Warren is running for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race against incumbent Republican Scott Brown. She is a Harvard University professor and was a special advisor to the White House for the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

This year’s Abigail Adams honorees, according to the Associated Press, are Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter; Speaker Pro Tempore of the Massachusetts House, Patricia Haddad; Ruth Ellen Fitch, president & CEO of the Dimock Center; Northeastern University professor Jane Edmonds; BNY Mellon Wealth Management regional manager Vicary Graham; and Lauren Baker, founder of Women for Baker.

The MWPC is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded to maximize women’s participation in the political process.
