Milford Rep. Murray, Crean Endorse AG Candidate Palfrey

MILFORD, MA — Two big figures in Milford Democratic politics have endorsed one of the three candidates running to replace Attorney General Maura Healey.

State Rep. Brian Murray, D-Milford, and former state Senate candidate Christine Crean both endorsed attorney general candidate Quentin Palfrey. The former assistant attorney general has also received the backing of the state Democratic party.

"He understands the office, the issues and our concerns, particularly here in greater central Massachusetts. Most significantly, he has the vision, desire and ability to make change where change is needed, as well-being the strong advocate for the rights of all citizens in the Commonwealth," Murray said in his endorsement.

Palfrey is in a three-way race with consumer rights attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan and former Boston City Councilor Andrea Campbell heading into the Sept. 6 Democratic primary. James McMahon is the sole Republican running for attorney general in 2022.

Attorney General Maura Healey is running for governor in 2022, and will face the winner of the Republican primary between Geoff Diehl and Chris Doughty.
