The following announcement was provided by Daniel Lander for State Senate:
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio endorsed Daniel Lander’s campaign for State Senate, providing significant momentum to Daniel Lander’s campaign against the architect of the broken status quo on Beacon Hill as the campaigns head into the last six weeks.
A former State Senator herself, DiZoglio has spent her career fighting for transparency on Beacon Hill. As Auditor, DiZoglio led the successful statewide ballot campaign to audit the state legislature. Despite receiving overwhelming support from more than 70% of voters, Senator Brownsberger and his colleagues in Senate leadership have spent the past year and half trying to block the legislative audit.
DiZoglio is endorsing Daniel’s campaign because she knows we need urgent change to make the State House more transparent and accountable to residents across this district and Massachusetts.
“Daniel Lander is committed to increasing transparency and accountability in our Legislature, particularly in our Senate,” said State Auditor Diana DiZoglio. “I’m proud that Daniel is stepping up to the plate to fight for transparency and accountability. I know he will work to make a difference on Beacon Hill. I’m really excited to be able to endorse Daniel today, and I hope that everyone who believes in fighting for more transparency will support him. ”
“Every day when I talk to voters, I hear from people who are frustrated that we have the least transparent and least effective legislature in the country. I’m honored to earn Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s endorsement, because she’s leading the fight for the legislative audit, for subjecting the legislature to public records, and for a more transparent government,” said Daniel Lander. “I’m thankful to have Auditor DiZoglio on my side as I run against the architect of the broken status quo, and I look forward to fighting alongside her for a more transparent and effective legislature.”
Daniel Lander is running for the State Senate to take on the broken status quo and make Beacon Hill work for the people. He grew up in this district and has worked alongside progressive leaders like Senator Elizabeth Warren, Stacey Abrams and Mayor Michelle Wu. Daniel believes Massachusetts can be more affordable and a great place to build a good life. He will tackle the housing crisis, work to transform the MBTA and stand up to the Trump administration. He has been endorsed by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Michelle Wu, the Massachusetts Working Families Party, IBEW 2222, AFSCME Council 93 Boston Presidents Committee, SEIU-NAGE, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, and Unite Here Local 26.
