Congresswoman Lori Trahan, state and local officials praise Campbell’s record of fighting for affordability and justice
HAVERHILL, MA—Today, U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan and a coalition of Haverhill-area elected officials announced their endorsement of Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s campaign for re-election, highlighting her proven leadership on affordability, justice, and standing up for Massachusetts families.
“Across the Merrimack Valley and North Central we’ve seen the difference Andrea’s leadership makes in our daily lives,” said U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan. “She’s fighting to make Massachusetts more affordable – putting money back in the pockets of hard-working families, holding big corporations accountable, and taking on powerful interests that harm consumers, tenants, and kids. That’s the kind of leadership we need right now more than ever.”
Other elected officials representing Haverhill who are endorsing Campbell include:
- Pavel Payano, State Senator, First Essex
- Barry Finegold, State Senator, 2nd Essex and Middlesex
- Andy Vargas, State Representative, 3rd Essex
- Ryan Hamilton, State Representative, 15th Essex
- Paul Tucker, Essex County District Attorney
- Eunice Zeigler, Governor’s Councilor, District 5
Since launching her campaign for re-election this week, Campbell has been endorsed by Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern, and a coalition of Worcester County state and local officials. Additional endorsements across Massachusetts will be announced in the coming weeks.
“I’m incredibly honored to have the support of Congresswoman Trahan and leaders from across the Haverhill area,” said Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. “We share a deep belief that government should work for people, and that every family in our Commonwealth deserves stability, opportunity, and a fair shot at a better life. Together, we’re building a Massachusetts where every community can thrive.”

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.
