Dear John,

Have you heard the exciting news? Last week trailblazing labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan officially launched her campaign to be the people’s champion as the next Massachusetts Attorney General.

Shannon also received the first major endorsement of any candidate in the race, earning the support of the statewide union Iron Workers Local 7:

“Shannon Liss-Riordan is a champion for working people in Massachusetts. For decades, she’s gone to the mat for the dignity of work and won. We know that she will do the same for Bay Staters as Attorney General, which is why we are proud to endorse her today,” said Daniel McWilliams, President of Iron Workers Local 7.

Shannon’s announcement made headlines across the state. Check out what they’re saying about her below:
