AFT Massachusetts President Jessica Tang released the following statement in response to reports from the Associated Press that Senator Elizabeth Warren is projected to win re-election to the U.S. Senate:
“It is hard to think of a stronger advocate for educators, public schools, and the lives of students across the Commonwealth than Senator Warren.
“We look forward to continuing to work with the Senator on her agenda for public education, racial and social justice, and in building an economy that works for all by making it easier for people to join a union and by tackling our nation’s crippling student debt crisis.
“Senator Warren has stood with us every step of the way in our ongoing efforts to strengthen public education for all, particularly for the students and communities with the greatest needs. We are excited to see what she will accomplish over her next term.”
