Denise Garlick Endorsed by Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus

NEEDHAM - The Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus PAC, has endorsed Denise Garlick, RN for State Representative of the 13th Norfolk District which includes Needham, Dover and Medfield.

Garlick said, “I am proud to have the support of the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus. My voice, as a woman, will be valuable at the State House. I have balanced having a family and a work life and know the constant strain and stress so many families face.”

Despite the fact that women make up more than half of the Massachusetts population, only 26% of Representatives are women. Furthermore, progress is not coming easy. There are fewer female State Representatives today than there were ten years ago. “I will bring perspective, experience and a strong voice to the debate at the State House on many issues that impact our families including jobs and economic development, containing health-care costs while preserving access and quality care and protecting local aid,” Garlick said.

“Denise is an amazing example of a hard-working champion of the people.  Outstanding activism and dedication to her community have been the trademarks of her career and we are proud to lend our resources to her candidacy,” stated MWPC Executive Director, Priti Rao in a release. “Garlick has worked tirelessly on a wide variety of issues and her experience of serving the public is exceptional.”

Garlick is the Vice-Chairman of the Needham Board of Selectmen, and a past President of the Massachusetts Nurses Association.

Garlick has previously received the endorsement of the Massachusetts Teachers Association and Massachusetts Nurses Association.
