SALEM – Today, September 1, more than 45 new former and current elected officials, advocacy leaders, and organizations have endorsed Mayor Kim Driscoll for Lieutenant Governor, continuing to solidify her statewide support and momentum as voters cast their ballots in these final days of the Democratic primary.
Driscoll also had her best fundraising month since her announcement in January, bringing in $208,000, more than double her competitors in the final report ahead of Election Day.
“I am working hard to earn every single vote in these final days as I continue to meet with local leaders and residents about the pressing issues facing our Commonwealth,” said Driscoll. “I am humbled by the enthusiasm we are seeing on the ground for my candidacy and I am looking forward to bringing my commitment and shared values to Beacon Hill as Lieutenant Governor.”
