Wasserman Endorsed by MLEV, Humane Mass.

The campaign to elect Jerry Wasserman related last week that their candidate has earned the endorsement of both the MA League of Environmental Voters (MLEV) and Humane Massachusetts.

In a press release issued last week, Lora Wondolowski, executive director of MLEV, said, "Jerry has been a strong proponent of solar and wind power in his district, and has a clear vision of building the clean economy jobs of the future for Massachusetts. We look forward to working with him in the campaign and electing another strong environmental leader to the State House."

Wasserman related his feelings on the endorsement.

"I am extremely pleased to receive the endorsement of MLEV," he said. "I have been a long-time advocate for environmental issues, and I believe it is one of our biggest challenges today. As a State Representative I would love the opportunity to collaborate with groups such as MLEV to ensure a green future for the entire Commonwealth."

Marge Peppercorn, co-chair of Humane Massachusetts PAC,  expressed that her group has endorsed Wasserman because "we feel that he showed the strongest commitment to improving shelters, helping farm animals, and promoting laws which would reduce animal abuse."

Wasserman is running in the Democratic primary election against Gary McNeill and Denise Garlick on September 14. In the Republican primary, Joshua Levy and John O'Leary are running against one another.
