Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren endorses Leigh Davis for state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District

Great Barrington — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D – Mass.) has officially declared her support for Leigh Davis, the Democratic nominee for state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District. Sen.

“I’m proud to endorse Leigh Davis for state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District,” said Sen. Warren. “We need bold, fearless leaders who are willing to take on difficult fights. For years, Leigh has been a strong advocate for her community, and as state representative, she will be a leader in the fight for workers’ rights, environmental sustainability, and housing justice.”

“I am deeply honored to have Senator Warren’s support,” said Davis. “As one of the leading progressive voices in America, she has been an extraordinary advocate for Massachusetts in the Senate. Her work fighting corruption, strengthening our democracy, and rebuilding the middle class has profoundly inspired me to bring the same courage and tenacity to Boston as our 3rd Berkshire [District] state representative.”

Leigh Davis is the communications director at Construct, vice chair of the Great Barrington Selectboard, a 1Berkshire Board director, and a member of the Lake Mansfield Improvement Task Force and the W.E.B. Du Bois Legacy Committee. Visit Davis’ campaign website for more information.
