Berkshire County — Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has announced that she is endorsing Great Barrington Selectboard member Leigh Davis for state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District.

“Leigh Davis is deeply rooted in her adopted Berkshires community, where she’s been an advocate for affordable housing, accessible healthcare, and economic opportunity for all,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “On Beacon Hill, she’ll be a bold, progressive voice on the issues that matter to the residents of western Massachusetts, and I’m proud to endorse her to represent the 3rd Berkshire District.”
“Congresswoman Pressley has been an incredible public servant and is an inspiration to me personally,” said Davis. “It is an immense honor to have her support and endorsement. Representing western Massachusetts effectively requires having relationships with community leaders and elected officials across the Commonwealth. This endorsement is an indication of the extent of my relationships throughout Massachusetts. I look forward to working with Congresswoman Pressley to advocate for the working families of the 3rd District.”
