House Ways and Means chair endorses Elizabeth Warren

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. — House Ways and Means chairman Richard Neal endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president on Friday night time, giving a lift to his house state senator on the eve of Tuesday’s main the place she is liable to dropping Massachusetts to progressive rival Bernie Sanders.

“Elizabeth Warren is the perfect candidate to take on Donald Trump on the financial system,” Neal stated in a press release. “She has spent her life learning why working households cannot get forward and the way too many get left behind."

Warren has slipped behind Sanders in current Massachusetts polls. In October, she held a 20-percentage point lead over Sanders but a poll released Friday exhibits Warren trailing the Vermont senator by eight factors. Warren has declined to say whether or not she expects to win her residence state on Tuesday.

Neal endorsed Warren the same night time Sanders held a rally in Springfield — Neal's hometown — that drew greater than four,000 individuals. Sanders is making a tough play to beat Warren in her house state, with back to again rallies and a four-day music and canvassing pageant. While Sanders swept Western Massachusetts in 2016, he lost the state to Hillary Clinton by a slender margin.

Past his position as the powerful chair of the Ways and Means Committee, Neal is the dean of the Massachusetts congressional delegation and a fixture in the western a part of the state. He was the mayor of Springfield in the 1980s and was sworn into Congress in 1989.

In his endorsement, Neal touted Warren's work to create the Shopper Finance Protection Bureau, and her document of getting "predatory loans canceled for college kids in Western Massachusetts."

"Her document of preventing and profitable real results makes her the actual deal and the suitable selection for Massachusetts voters on Tuesday," Neal stated.

Warren has the backing of nearly all of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, and counts Rep. Ayanna Pressley as considered one of her three nationwide campaign co-chairs. Sen. Ed Markey and Reps. Lori Trahan, Katherine Clark, Jim McGovern and Rep. Joe Kennedy III have held marketing campaign occasions for Warren in current weeks. Rep. Seth Moulton, who briefly ran for president, endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. Rep. Invoice Keating doesn't plan to endorse a candidate.

Neal endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, and introduced her at a Springfield rally the day earlier than Super Tuesday. Clinton went on to beat Sanders in Springfield with 61 % of the vote, to his 38 %. Within the basic election, Neal traveled to Pennsylvania to stump for Clinton.

A 30-year veteran of Congress, Neal is dealing with a main challenge from the progressive and brazenly gay mayor of Holyoke, Alex Morse.
