Mermell Endorsed by Attleboro Director of Budget & Administration

Jesse Mermell today continued to build on her momentum as the strongest progressive candidate in the race to succeed Congressman Joe Kennedy by earning the endorsement of City of Attleboro Director of Budget & Administration and former Public Schools of Brookline Budget Analyst Jeremy Stull.

“The issues that Jesse leads on – economic, racial, and reproductive justice – are the issues that matter to me and to the district,” said Stull. “Her experience connecting with voters and communities in public and not-for-profit leadership roles make her the progressive leader that Massachusetts deserves.”

“This election is coming down to a clear choice between a proven progressive leader who is supported by nearly 100 local leaders, 21 unions representing 269,000 Massachusetts workers, leading progressive advocacy organizations and thousands of grassroots donors or a candidate who does not represent the Fourth District’s progressive values and would take us backwards," said Mermell. "Our campaign is peaking at exactly the right time as voters begin to cast their votes by mail or make plans to vote in person early or on September 1st.”

Also on Tuesday, Mermell earned endorsements from State Representative Denise Garlick and 16 other local leaders from Brookline, Hopkinton and Sharon.

Mermell previously was endorsed by several Attleboro area residents, including Norton Select Board Member Michael Toole, Democratic State Committee Member Marilyn Powers of Attleboro, Democratic State Committee Member Prerna Jagadeesh of North Attleboro, Chair of the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee and Democratic State Committee Member Dennis Naughton and Democratic State Committee Member and Immediate Past Co-Chair of the Bay State Stonewall Democrats Claire Naughton.

Mermell has steadily built the strongest grassroots coalition in the nine-person race, with endorsements from top progressive leaders and organizations such as Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, former First Lady Diane Patrick, NARAL, the National Women’s Political Caucus, SEIU, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the Massachusetts Nurse Association and the Coalition for Social Justice.
