Clark praises Campbell’s compassion, courage, and leadership fighting for Massachusetts families
BOSTON, MA—Today, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark endorsed Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s campaign for re-election, highlighting Campbell’s record of standing up for working families and leading with faith and compassion.
“At a moment when so many families are doing everything right and still struggling to put food on the table, we need leaders who act with urgency and lead with faith in the people they serve,” said Democratic Whip Katherine Clark. “Andrea knows firsthand what it means when government truly works for people. She’s stood up for workers, protected seniors, and held corporate landlords and polluters accountable. And now, as the Trump Administration once again puts politics over people, Andrea is leading the charge to defend Massachusetts families, making sure no child and no family goes hungry. She leads with conviction, compassion, and courage – and I’m proud to support her re-election.”
Since launching her campaign for re-election, Campbell has been endorsed by Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, U.S. Senator Ed Markey, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern, U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, a coalition of Worcester County state and local officials and leaders from across the Haverhill area. Additional endorsements across Massachusetts will be announced in the coming days and weeks.
“I’m deeply grateful for Congresswoman Clark’s support and friendship,” said Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. “She’s been a tireless advocate for families across Massachusetts and a role model for public service grounded in empathy and integrity. I’m proud to stand alongside her in fighting for a government that shows up for people, and to keep delivering for the communities that need us most.”

About Andrea Joy Campbell:
Andrea Joy Campbell’s journey to become Massachusetts’ first Black woman Attorney General didn’t follow a traditional path. After losing her mother in a car accident as an infant and entering the foster care system while her father was incarcerated, Andrea was raised by a community of family and educators who believed in her potential. Her twin brother, Andre, died in Department of Correction custody due to inadequate medical care – a tragedy that drives her fight for accountability and fairness in our justice system. The first in her family to go to college, Andrea went on to graduate from Princeton and UCLA Law, serve as legal counsel to Governor Deval Patrick, and become the first Black woman to serve as Boston City Council President. Raised in Roxbury and the South End, Andrea is a proud Boston public school graduate who attended five different schools, including Boston Latin. Her story – of loss, resilience, faith, and opportunity – is an American story of what’s possible when the government works for people and when someone is in your corner fighting for you.
