their support of these Democratic candidates.
They're sharing why they will be making
their vote for them on November 3rd.
You know, this is what we need right now, this spirit of common sense
and meeting them where they are, affordability issues,
housing, energy, all of these kind of things.
So this is where it's at.
The rally drawing a large crowd of supporters,
and they all weren't just from the Commonwealth,
but neighboring states too, even bringing in a national labor leader.
We're here in this Get Out the Vote rally for Maura Healey
and Ed Markey and others

to care about working people.
And the main point these state leaders want to get across?
We send the message from Massachusetts to the rest of the country,
they've got to get up and do that work on Tuesday night.
That's what you all have an opportunity to do.
Get the vote out on Tuesday.
It will resound all across this country.
