Boston mayor Michelle Wu has endorsed her former senior aide, Daniel Lander, in his campaign against Will Brownsberger for the Suffolk and Middlesex state Senate seat.
Candidates vying for state senator Pat Jehlen’s seat in the 2nd Middlesex District agreed at a forum that big reforms are needed in the state Legislature.
Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Daniel Lander in the Suffolk and Middlesex District state Senate race, choosing a young first-time candidate over 14-year incumbent Will Brownsberger.
An ordinance calls on the mayor and city staff to stop Somerville from financially supporting apartheid, genocide, unlawful military occupation or war crimes.
The incumbent says his reelection is for “the sake of this district”; the challenger decries a system and calls him “the architect of that broken status quo.”
