Warren praises Campbell’s record of standing up for working families, holding powerful interests accountable, and fighting for affordability and justice
BOSTON, MA—Today U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s campaign for re-election, highlighting Campbell’s proven leadership in making life more affordable for families, standing up to corporate abuse, and defending Massachusetts from attacks on its values and economy.
“Now more than ever we need leaders who will fight for us—leaders who will fight to lower costs for families, who will put money back into the pockets of workers, who will take on Wall Street when they scam consumers, and who will not back down to Donald Trump,” said U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “That’s why I’m endorsing Andrea Campbell’s re-election for Attorney General of Massachusetts. She’s the people’s lawyer. Andrea knows what it’s like to struggle—she knows what it means for families when they can’t afford health care or housing—and she will never give up on fighting for your family.”
Since launching her campaign for re-election last week, Campbell has been endorsed by Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, U.S. Senator Ed Markey, 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.
“Senator Warren has always been a fierce advocate for workers and families, and I’m so thrilled to have her support,” said Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. “We share a belief that government should be a force for good—making life more affordable, protecting consumers, and holding the most powerful accountable. I’m proud to stand alongside her in the fight for a Massachusetts where every worker and family has the opportunity and dignity they deserve.”

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.
