PRESS RELEASE

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein endorses Jeff Ross for State Senate

September 7, 2007

CAMBRIDGE, MA - Senator Dianne Feinstein today endorsed Jeff Ross in his race for State Senate.  Ross worked on Feinstein’s successful bid for the U.S. Senate in 1992 and followed Feinstein to Washington, D.C. as her intern.

Senator Feinstein said, "Jeff was a hardworking and dedicated intern in my Washington office and I know that he will make a great State Senator.  His dedication to issues of human and civil rights and his leadership as an outspoken and hardworking advocate for communities most at risk for injustice will serve his district well.  I urge you to vote for Jeff Ross on September 11.”

Ross says he is very proud to have been part of the historical effort in 1992 to elect the first two female U.S. Senators from California, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.  When Senator Feinstein took office as a freshman Senator, Ross spent a year as her intern on the Capitol Hill.  "It was an honor for me to work with Senator Feinstein -- she was a guide and inspiration as I started my work on civil rights issues.”

Ross is a candidate in the race to replace Senator Barrios in the Middlesex, Suffolk, Essex Senate seat.  The primary special election in this race is set for next Tuesday, September 11.
