The Working Families Party Endorses Mary Ann Stewart
Stress that Mary Ann is "The Real Deal Progressive" we need for State Representative
Democratic State Representative candidate in the 15th Middlesex district, Mary Ann Stewart, receives the endorsement of the Working Families Party. The Working Families Party joins Progressive Massachusetts, Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, Mass Alliance (a coalition of over twenty-five leading progressive advocacy organizations including LGBTQ rights, pro-choice, labor, and environmental groups), local progressive advocacy group Woburn Welcomes, and Mass Voters for Animals in endorsing Mary Ann. In addition, Mary Ann has the national recommendations of Moms Demand Action and #VoteProChoice.
“I am proud to earn the endorsement of the Working Families Party,” said Stewart. “I believe the Commonwealth is hungry for bold leadership and it requires elected political leaders who put forward a vision of change, and energized people to prod them forward. I will fight for an economy and a society in which all people can thrive. That means creating good jobs at decent wages. Investing in public goods, from schools to roads and bridges to water systems to parks and defending the rights and safety of all people, including immigrants and people of color. By their endorsement, the Working Families Party understands that representation matters and can transform people’s lives.”
Of Mary Ann, New England Political Director of the Working Families Party, Georgia Hollister Isman said:
"Mary Ann is the real deal progressive. We can trust her to fight for economic and racial justice in the State House, because that is just what she has been doing already. We are proud to support her."
