Both the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor have been excellent partners for the city of Newton and the cities and towns across the Commonwealth, advocating for level funding local aid and bringing much needed leadership to important issues like clean energy, job creation and education," said Mayor Warren. "They have brought this Commonwealth through some difficult times and it is critical that we ensure they are reelected to another term to finish what we have started. I am proud to have them as partners and proud to stand with them and support them."
