The following is a press release sent to us by Senator Warren:
Today U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) officially announced her reelection campaign in a video on social media. Warren is running for re-election to deliver results for the Commonwealth, end corruption in Washington, make our economy work for the middle class, and protect our democracy.
“I first ran for Senate because I saw how the system is rigged for the rich and powerful and against everyone else. I won because Massachusetts voters know it, too. And now I’m running for Senate again because there’s a lot more we’ve got to do,” Senator Warren said in the video announcement. “Pass a wealth tax. Make child care affordable. Protect our coastal communities. Build a 21st century transportation system across all of Massachusetts. Oh, and like I’ve been saying for years — put stricter rules on banks so they don’t crash and hurt working people.”
“We know it won’t be easy. We’ve seen the powerful forces against us and how extreme the Republicans are. But the last ten years have taught us that when we organize, when we hold those in power accountable, when we fight righteous fights — then we can make positive change,” said Senator Warren. “That’s why I’m running for Senate – are you with us?”
The announcement video includes people from across Massachusetts and elected leaders such as U.S. Senator Ed Markey, U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
“Elizabeth is my partner in the Senate – and I have seen this perpetual energy machine up close. Passing a tax on greedy corporations paying zero taxes? She got it done,” said Senator Markey. “Making billionaires cry on TV? Done.”
“It’s always impossible, until it’s done. She never loses sight of the people,” said Representative Pressley. “She never forgets that policy is about people’s lives.”
“She won billions in funding for projects across our state, like a new electric school bus fleet,” added Mayor Wu “to help achieve a city Green New Deal!”
