BREAKING: I'm so proud to receive the endorsement of Attorney General Maura Healey.
@maura_healey is a fearless advocate for the people of MA as she defends the rule of law from Trump, holds corporations accountable and leads the fight against the opioid crisis. #mapoli#ma04
Just noting that I saw a lot of women lifting up efforts to call out sexism and racism and double standards in the coverage of the VP pick and far fewer men. This doesn't just fall to the women. Would be great if more men joined in. Let's have a fair playing field.
