Sal Loves Hillary

House Speaker Sal DiMasi has joined the lengthening list of Massachusetts pols endorsing Hillary Clinton for President, according to a Clinton campaign press release that reads more like an endorsement of DiMasi:

DiMasi, first elected to the House in 1978 to represent Boston, has served as Speaker since 2004. He was instrumental in passing Massachusetts’ landmark healthcare legislation that provides coverage to nearly every resident. For his role in passing the state’s healthcare plan, Governing Magazine named DiMasi one of its Public Officials of the Year in 2006.

DiMasi previously crafted a reorganization of the Massachusetts courts, making them more user friendly and authored legislation that streamlined interstate banking. He is now a leading voice for energy reform, offering a detailed plan to promote cleaner, more renewable energy.

“We need more leaders like Speaker DiMasi, who brings everyone to the table to hammer out solutions to our toughest problems,” Clinton said. “I’m honored to have his support as we take our message of change across Massachusetts and the nation.”
