Tim Toomey Statement

I am seeking the endorsement of the Progressive Democrats of Somerville because I believe that our shared values and goals benefit from a close relationship of cooperation and communication. I am proud of my record working with the Somerville delegation and our community organizations to promote progressive and effective legislation to benefit and protect the underserved citizens of both our state and our city.

This session we have fought for stronger air quality and environmental standards to make our state a leader in the country, for expansion of the Green Line to increase commuter access to Boston and reduce reliance on cars, for immigrant rights and assistance, for equality under the law (and in the budget) for same-sex couples and the entire LGBT community, and for affordable housing and nutritional assistance for the struggling families in Somerville. We have not won every fight, but our past efforts have helped us organize and galvanize our efforts going forward. I am honored to be considered for your endorsement, and I look forward to working alongside you for progressive values in Somerville and in our state
