Elizabeth Warren Endorses Jake Auchincloss For Congress

October 6, 2020

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren offered former Newton city councilor Jake Auchincloss an endorsement this week where she sees his victory as a foregone conclusion.

Auchincloss is running against underdog Republican Julie Hall in the November general election for the Fourth Congressional District to replace outgoing U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III (D-Newton).

“I look forward to working with  @JakeAuch as representatives of our great state. In the Marines, in business, and as a public servant in local government, Jake has worked to protect our nation and uplift working families,” Warren wrote.

A Republican has not won a U.S. House seat in Massachusetts since 1994.

Warren did not endorse a candidate in the Democratic primary in the Fourth District in the summer.
