Martha Coakley

Martha Coakley has been racking up key endorsements recently, and the Coakley campaign just announced an exciting new addition.

The Service Employees International Union backed Coakley today, adding to a number of labor endorsements Coakley has received, including the Teamsters. Altogether, the local SEIU council that backed Coakley represents five unions, totaling 60,000 workers.

Of course, Coakley was thrilled to add SEIU to her list of supporters. "SEIU, I believe, is a modern and progressive union. They look at the future, they have modern organizing methods, and I think they represent workers who look forward with technology, particularly in health care."

This much sought-after endorsement signals growing support for the Coakley campaign across the state. Congratulations, Martha!
