Warren Endorsed By MetroWest Officials Ahead Of Super Tuesday

FRAMINGHAM, MA — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign on Tuesday released a long list of Massachusetts elected officials who have endorsed her, including many local and state elected officials in the MetroWest area.

This comes as presidential rival U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders makes a play for Massachusetts on Super Tuesday — he's holding rallies in Springfield and Boston on Friday and Saturday, and his campaign is hosting a four-day "Berniepalooza" event in Worcester starting Friday. Sanders' campaign has identified Worcester County as strategically important to winning a share of the state's 114 delegates.

Sanders lost the Massachusetts primary in 2016 to Hillary Clinton. He carried Worcester County that year, but Clinton won in Norfolk and Middlesex counties. Warren did not endorse either candidate ahead of the 2016 Massachusetts primary.

Here are the MetroWest state, local, and federal elected officials who have endorsed Warren, according to her campaign:

• Framingham Mayor Yvonne Spicer
• State Rep. Jack Lewis, D-Framingham
• State Sen. Karen Spilka, D-Ashland
• State Rep. David Linsky, D-Natick
• State Rep. Brian Murray, D-Milford
• State Rep. Carmine Gentile, D-Sudbury
• State Sen. Michael Barrett, D-Sudbury
• State Rep. Hank Naughton, D-Northborough
• U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Wayland
• U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Marlborough
• U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Milford

Some local Democratic officials who were not on the list: State Rep. Maria Robinson, who has endorsed Pete Buttigieg; state Sen. James Eldridge, D-Marlborough, who has endorsed Sanders; state Rep. Danielle Gregoire, D-Marlborough; state Sen. Rebecca Rausch, D-Wayland, Natick; and state Rep. Alice Peisch, D-Wayland. Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan has not endorsed, but Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins has endorsed Warren.
