The Massachusetts Sierra Club is endorsing Democrat Jerry Wasserman for state representative in the 13th Norfolk District, which covers Needham, Dover and Medfield.
In a press release last week, the club, an environmental advocacy group, said they are supporting Wasserman because he has a record of protecting the environment.
“His focus on environmental issues has demonstrated his commitment to protecting our wildlife, ushering in a new era of green technology, and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Phillip Sego, political chair of the Massachusetts Sierra Club. “He will be an unwavering advocate for environmental protection in the State House.”
Wasserman has been a Needham selectman for 11 years and is a member of Green Needham, a local group working to make the town sustainable, according to the press release. He has brought renewable energy to Needham and worked to get hybrids for town transportation, the release said.
“I have always greatly respected the work of the Sierra Club and I am thrilled to have their support,” Wasserman said in the release. “I believe that this endorsement is recognition of the work have I done and will continue to do on environmental issues.”
Wasserman is running for the Democratic nomination against Selectman Denise Garlick and Gary McNeill in the primary on Sept. 14.
