2020 State Legislature and Governor's Council Endorsements

Thank you to our members who participated in our 2020 state offices endorsement process! Our Revolution Somerville endorses the following candidates, based on them having received at least 60% of the votes from you, our membership:

Helina Fontes for Governor's Councilor (83.7%)

Erika Uyterhoeven for State Representative for 27th Middlesex Representative (73.2%)

State Rep. Mike Connolly for 26th Middlesex State Representative (91.3%)

Senator Pat Jehlen for 2nd Middlesex State Senate (93.6%).

In the 34th Middlesex State Representative race, ORS has not made an endorsement, as neither of the two candidates (Christine Barber and Anna Callahan) reached the 60% threshold for endorsement.

Keep an eye out for more information about how you can support ORS's endorsed candidates!
