Congressman Jim McGovern, state and local officials praise Campbell’s leadership on affordability, justice, and protecting Massachusetts families
MASSACHUSETTS—Today, Congressman Jim McGovern and a coalition of Worcester County elected officials announced their endorsement of Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s campaign for re-election, citing her record of results for working families and her leadership in standing up to corporate greed and federal overreach.
“I’m proud to endorse my friend Andrea Joy Campbell for another term as Attorney General,” said U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern. “Andrea ensures that everyone—from Worcester to Williamstown—feels the impact of her work. She’s the best Attorney General in the country, fighting for regular people instead of big corporations and standing up to Donald Trump’s cruelty. Our fight for justice and opportunity is far from over, and there’s no one I’d rather partner with than Andrea Campbell.”
Worcester County state and local elected officials endorsing Campbell include:
- U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern, Massachusetts 2nd
- Sen. Robyn Kennedy, First Worcester
- Sen. John Cronin, Worcester and Middlesex
- Rep. Jonathan Zlotnik, 2nd Worcester
- Rep. Natalie Higgins, 4th Worcester
- Rep. Brian Murray, 10th Worcester
- Rep. John Mahoney, 13th Worcester
- Rep. Mary Keefe, 15th Worcester
- Rep. Dan Donahue, 16th Worcester
- Rep. David LeBoeuf, 17th Worcester
- Rep. Kate Donaghue, 19th Worcester
Additional endorsements across Massachusetts will be announced in the coming weeks.
“I’m honored to have the support of so many leaders from Worcester County,” said Andrea Joy Campbell. “Our shared goal is simple—to make life more affordable, keep our communities safe, and ensure government works for the people, not just the powerful. Together, we’re tackling the housing crisis, holding corporations accountable, and standing up to attacks on our rights and freedoms. I’m grateful for their partnership in this work and for their shared commitment to building a Commonwealth rooted in justice, opportunity, and freedom for all.”
Later today, Campbell will campaign in Worcester with State Sen. Robyn Kennedy visiting local businesses and touring YWCA Central Massachusetts. Media is invited to attend; RSVP to press@andreacampbell.org for details.

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.
