Endorsements of Jamie Eldridge's candidacy for State Senate
The MetroWest Daily News
"During his three terms in the House, Democrat JAMIE ELDRIDGE, has established a reputation as an independent voice, an advocate for reform and an effective coalition-builder."
The Beacon
"When it comes to the environment, social issues, business growth and education, particularly as it relates to advocating for more money from the state for local schools, Eldridge is right on. He has served the 37th Middlesex District well for six years, never absent for an important meeting or silent when he sees a chance to help a constituent. And he is the right pick to succeed Acton Democrat Pam Resor in the state Senate."
Nashoba Publications
"The ability of democrat Jamie Eldridge to serve a constituency in an efficient, responsible and caring manner is well established."
The Lowell Sun
"Eldridge understands the need to attract business to the region and to improve the state's infrastructure."
The Boston Globe
"In the Middlesex and Worcester District, encompassing an arc of communities from Shirley to Westborough, Democrat James B. Eldridge deserves to be elected to an open seat. Currently a state representative, Eldridge has worked to promote economic development, workforce training, and transportation upgrades. He has also been a strong supporter of bills to protect the environmental and promote energy efficiency."
State Senator Pam Resor
"Jamie is a wonderful candidate who will continue to provide leadership and advocacy for the Middlesex and Worcester District," said Resor. Read full article.
