Waltham, MA – Today, former State Senator and Weymouth Mayor Bob Hedlund announced his endorsement of Mike Kennealy for Governor and Anne Manning Martin for Lieutenant Governor. Mayor Hedlund is widely respected as a no-nonsense conservative with a proven record of effective leadership—both in the legislature and in running a city.

In announcing his endorsement, Mayor Hedlund said, “Mike Kennealy and Anne Manning Martin are the team to support. With his background in business, education, and government, and hers in law enforcement and local government, they are more than qualified to lead our Commonwealth. It’s time for Republicans to unite behind the candidate who can defeat Maura Healey in November and without question, that candidate is Mike Kennealy.”

Kennealy welcomed the endorsement, stating, “Mayor Hedlund represents the very best of public service—a steady, principled voice in the State Senate and an outstanding Mayor for the people of Weymouth. I am honored to have his support and look forward to working together as we continue building momentum to take back Massachusetts and deliver real results when I’m Governor.”
