The Alicia DelVento for State Representative campaign is proud to announce the endorsement of two sitting Winthrop Town Councilors: Tracey Honan and Barbara Flockhart. Both were elected to the Winthrop Town Council during the 2019 election, with Councilor Honan receiving the most votes of any candidate.
Tracey Honan, Winthrop Town Councilor At-Large & Economic Development Chair
“When I first met Alicia at a Markey campaign event I was impressed with her confidence and self-possession. She immediately struck me as a natural leader, who was involved, not only in her local community, but also at the state level. As I’ve come to know Alicia more this past year, her intelligence, integrity, and compassion have further impressed me.
I believe that Alicia will be an advocate for working families, seniors, veterans, and the disabled. I know that she will fight for economic, social and racial justice, and address the challenges of climate change that will certainly face our communities, specifically, in the near future. For these reasons, I have made Alicia DelVento my choice for State Representative – I hope you will too.â€
Barbara Flockhart, Winthrop Town Councilor Precinct 4 “I am proud to endorse Alicia DelVento for State Representative. In particular, I support her in fighting for the bold policies we need to protect against climate change. Alicia has the compassion, intelligence, and experience needed to meet this moment, and her deep roots in our community and sense of civic duty will guide all her decisions on Beacon Hill.â€
