Mary Ann Stewart Takes Up Progressive Mantle in Candidate Forum

(LEXINGTON)-- Yesterday State Representative 15th Middlesex District candidate Mary Ann Stewart attended the Lexington Democratic Town Committee Candidate Forum so voters can learn about her plans and visions for the office.

“I don’t want to go to Beacon Hill to go along to get along” said Stewart. “We need a courageous leader who isn’t afraid to speak up and make change.”

Mary Ann, endorsed by leading statewide progressive organizations Mass Alliance and Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, emphasized her proven track record as a community activist and a progressive champion through her work with groups such as the Parent Teachers Association (PTA), the Revenue Options Working Group of Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, the Lexington School Committee, and the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). Throughout the debate Mary Ann affirmed her goals to work towards such as education equity, environmental sustainability, and improved affordable housing options.

As coordinator of logistics for the debate, the Lexington Democratic Town Committee works to enhance the democratic process by engaging more people in political activities; to bring issues of social, economic, and political importance to public awareness; to work through the electoral process to get Democratic candidates elected to public office, in county, state and national positions.

The Democratic Primary election will be held on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018. The 15th Middlesex district consists of all of Lexington and Woburn wards one and seven. For more information on Mary Ann Stewart’s campaign, voters can visit www.MaryAnnStewart.org.
