In The News Today
- Check out today's Boston Globe, which includes a great editorial endorsing Ayanna Pressley for an at-large seat on the Boston City Council. Ayanna's candidacy is proudly endorsed by the MWPC PAC. If elected, she would be only the third woman -- and the first woman of color -- ever to serve on the city council. Congratulations, Ayanna!
- There is also a distressing op-ed in the Boston Globe about how abortion rights are being slowly eroded here in Massachusetts due to a lack of facilities willing to offer abortion procedures. In particular, there is a controversy in Brookline where residents are trying to block the opening of an abortion clinic due to concern over protests. It's an interesting column and well worth the time to read.
- Another concerning article in the Boston Globe shows that we may be going backwards in terms of advancement of women in high-profile positions in Massachusetts businesses.

Election Day is November 3
The MWPC PAC has endorsed State Representative Ruth Balser in her race to become the 33rd Mayor -- and the first female Mayor-- of Newton. Ruth is a lifelong resident of Newton and she has spent more than 20 years as a public servant, serving as a Newton Alderman and now as a legislator in her sixth term. She has been an active member of her sons' PTOs, as well as civic, political and religious organizations.
In Boston, our PAC has endorsed Ayanna Pressley for an at-large seat on the Boston City Council. Many of us are familiar with her exemplary, collaborative approach and can-do style in connecting the residents of Boston and the state to resources and services, as an aide to former Congressman Joseph Kennedy and Senator John Kerry. She also served as a former board member of MWPC and she is a Wonder Woman Award recipient. Ayanna would be the first woman of color ever to serve and only the third woman elected at-large in the Council's 100 year history.
For more information on Ruth Balser and her candidacy, please visit: http://www.ruthformayor.com/. For more information on Ayanna Pressley her candidacy, please visit http://www.ayannapressley.com/.
We're looking for volunteers to help us out on these campaigns! Can you assist us? If you can help in any way, please send an e-mail to Priti Rao at priti@mwpc.org or call (617) 451-9294.

Congratulations to Ayanna Pressley, who earned a spot on the November 3 general election ballot for one of four at-large seats on the Boston City Council.Our PAC endorsed Ayanna Pressley this summer, and a number of us had a great time supporting her out in the field yesterday.
