Harry,

Thanks to many of you for your participation in our process that resulted in the endorsement of 19 extraordinary legislative candidates.

At this point, the leadership team is recommending two further endorsements, and invites your votes on those recommendations.  Both candidates have been endorsed by Mass Alliance, and we’ve (belatedly) completed our own interviews with each of them.  We enthusiastically recommend endorsement of both.

Rep. Christine Barber is in her third term representing portions of Somerville and Medford (34th Middlesex District), and is facing a primary challenge this year.  She was interviewed by Peter Enrich and Jay Kaufman, who strongly recommend a PDM endorsement.  Rep. Barber has taken on significant leadership within the progressive caucus, serving as the lead sponsor for the Driving Families Forward (immigrant driver’s license) legislation, on corporate tax reform, and on a range of other key issues.  In the interview, she demonstrated a nuanced and engaged vision of how to organize, both inside the State House and outside, to build progressive power over coming years.

Amber Hewett is running to unseat Republican Representative James Kelcourse in the 1st Essex District (Amesbury, Newburyport, Salisbury).  She was interviewed by Andrew Fischer, Jay Kaufman, and Peter Enrich, who unanimously and enthusiastically recommend endorsement.   Amber has been working for a number of years doing state legislative advocacy on clean energy policy for the National Wildlife Federation, and is a savvy student of the state legislative process.  Beyond her deep commitment to climate issues, she’s also focused on issues of legislative transparency, community engagement, and a range of policy issues (housing, transit, etc.) impacting working families.  This is a winnable district, and a great opportunity to replace a Republican representative with a progressive leader.

As always, a PDM endorsement requires two-thirds support from sustaining members who vote on the endorsement.  Please cast your votes, for or against these endorsements, by email to info at progressivedemsofmass.org<mailto:info at progressivedemsofmass.org>.  The voting will remain open until Thursday evening.

Many thanks.
 Peter Enrich, for the Leadership Team
