LYNN — State Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) announced Tuesday he is endorsing Jared Nicholson for mayor.
“Throughout my 16-year career in public service, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with many dedicated members of the Lynn community,” Crighton said. “Today I am honored to announce my support for one of the brightest, hardest-working individuals that I’ve ever worked with.”
Crighton said he and Nicholson fight for many shared priorities, including school funding, job creation, transportation improvements and making sure that all Lynn residents have access to housing they can afford.
“It is crucial that we have a mayor with the vision, toughness and skills to lead us,” Crighton said. “When I’m fighting for the priorities that matter to Lynn in the Statehouse, I need a partner like Jared in City Hall. His vision for a future of Lynn that includes all of us is exactly the direction we need.”
Nicholson said Crighton is an exemplary leader in the city and has an outstanding track record, being a “true champion of the causes that we both care about for Lynn’s future.”
“I am thrilled and honored to have his support,” Nicholson said.
