CAMBRIDGE Jeff Ross
has announced his intention to form an Exploratory Committee for the
Middlesex, Suffolk and Essex Senate District. I want to congratulate
Senator Barrios in his new position. I respect and admire the work he
has done during his tenure in the state legislature. The progressive
democrats in the district are losing a valuable leader.
Ross will be a strong advocate on the
Municipalities Partnership Act, the environment, lower crime,
diversity issues and affordable housing in the district. Ross
resigned from the Hillary for President Steering Committee to take up
the task of working to form a dialog with the community on issues that
affect the district. I look forward to making new friends and
fortifying existing relationships, said Ross. I care deeply about
the issues that are important to the community and will be a strong
voice for progressive issues in the legislature.
Jeff Ross worked with California Senator
Dianne Feinstein, after she won election to the U.S. Senate in 1992.
He has been an advocate for working people and immigrants, and has
been a strong and influential voice in the notary legislation drafted
by state senator Sue Tucker. Ross made U.S. history last November
when he collaborated with the federal government to reverse the
wrongful deportation of a Lynn, MA. He is also an attorney and is of
counsel on the anti-discrimination suit filed against the Mitt Romney
administration and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles in
December 2006. He is a founder of the Brockton Civil Rights Task
Force to address social justice issues.
There is excitement around this
candidate, said Irena Zolotova, Deputy Press Secretary for Ross. I
am the Progressive Democrat in this race and I need your support,
said Ross.
