PHOTOS: Warren Rallies North Shore Voters in Beverly

North Shore supporters came out for the Democratic candidate during a Saturday afternoon rally.

Veterans affairs took center stage at U.S. Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren's packed North Shore Rally at the First Baptist Church in Beverly, Saturday afternoon.

Warren said she was honored to be joined by former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA), who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, referring to him as 'a war hero and a man who has truly dedicated his life to public service.'

Alongside Cleland, Congressman John Tierney, Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon, and Newton Mayor Setti Warren were joined on stage by a group of both current U.S. servicemen and veterans supporting Warren.
