Pressley picks up Cabral endorsement

Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral today endorsed at-large City Council hopeful Ayanna Pressley:

The perspective she will bring to the Council as a woman of color is tremendously important, and one that the Boston City Council, in its l00 year history, has never had. Ayanna has great political and constituent service experience and knows this landscape well. I especially like that she wants to bring greater accessibility, greater accountability and strong advocacy to the Council. She knows the Council is strongest when it is collaborative and working together to identify and serve the needs of Boston residents. Ayanna is a well-respected, smart, dynamic woman whose contributions as City Councilor will bode well for the future of the City of Boston.

Pressley is one of more than a dozen candidates seeking one of four open at-large seats this fall. A September preliminary will whittle the field down to eight for the November final election.
