BURLINGTON, VT -- This week, Democracy for America (DFA) endorsed Pat Jehlen for the Massachusetts State Senate 2nd Middlesex District -- making her a member of the DFA-List, Candidates for America. Each DFA-List candidate encompasses the true spirit of grassroots democracy, fiscal responsibility, and social progress. They are individuals who are dedicated to changing America from the ground up.

"Pat Jehlen's record of reform shows her commitment to fiscal responsibility and social progress," said Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America. "She has always done what's in the best interests of her constituents, not special interests. We are proud to add her to the DFA-List."

Pat Jehlen has the experience, vision, and determination to stand up for all families of the 2nd Middlesex District. During her fourteen years as a state representative, she has fought for education funding, universal health care, marriage equality and the needs of working people and families. In the wake of State Senator Charlie Shannon's death, Pat Jehlen has vowed to continue the presence of a strong, progressive voice in the Massachusetts State Senate. Jehlen has also received the endorsement of the Cambridge-Area Democracy for America. The primary election is August 30, 2005 and the general election is September 27, 2005.
