Endorsements

“I am honored to endorse Massachusetts State Representative Carmine Gentile for re-election.  Recognized by NARAL and Planned Parenthood as a Roe Act Champion, he is fighting to ensure access to safe, legal abortion care in Massachusetts. He fights to make sure every child in Massachusetts can get an excellent public school education, no matter their ZIP code, and he fights for our seniors to be able to get the homecare services they need to remain in their homes. As a member of the Citizens Commission and House sponsor of resolutions for a U.S. constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, Carmine is also a leader in the fight to get big money out of politics. I am proud to stand with him in these fights for working people, and the fights to come.” -Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator

“Carmine Gentile has fought to protect and preserve our environment in Massachusetts and answer the climate change challenge by fighting to eliminate greenhouse gas pollution, transitioning our Commonwealth to 100% green renewable energy sources for all of our travel, residential, and commercial energy needs by 2045 and creating thousands of great paying jobs in the process. Carmine fights every day to care for the most vulnerable among us: children with disabilities, seniors, immigrants, and our veterans.  Black lives matter to him. He filed legislation and has fought for six years now to create a civilian review board for allegations of police misconduct and voted for police reform and racial justice. For all of these reasons and more I am proud to endorse Carmine Gentile for re-election as State Representative for the 13th Middlesex District” -Ed Markey, U.S. Senator

“Carmine is a leader in the realms of both ideas and action.  He is a loyal ally to those who are deeply concerned about issues ranging from climate change to criminal justice reform.  He is a friend.  He does a difficult job well.” – Mike Barrett, State Senator for the 3rd Middlesex District of Massachusetts

“I’m proud to endorse State Representative Carmine Gentile for re-election. Carmine has been a great legislative partner, a strong advocate for K-12  and  public higher education, lowering health care costs while improving public health, and fighting to protect our environment and transition Massachusetts to a 100% clean energy future. As a member of the Citizens Commission Concerning a Constitutional Amendment for Government of the People and lead sponsor in the Massachusetts House of Representatives of the We the People Act, to repeal the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision on corporate money in politics, Carmine has been  a leader in  Massachusetts efforts for federal and state campaign finance reform.” – State Senator Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton), Middlesex and Worcester district

“Massachusetts has long been at the forefront in the fight for reproductive rights because of leaders like Carmine Gentile. Gentile has a strong record advocating for smart sexual and reproductive health policies and is a staunch champion of the ROE Act, pushing to eliminate barriers to abortion care that disproportionately harm Black and brown people, young people, and people with low incomes. The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund is proud to endorse Carmine Gentile as a ROE Act Champion and work alongside him to immediately pass the ROE Act and ensure safe, legal abortion is accessible to all.” -Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, President of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts (PPAF)
