IBEW local endorses Kenneally for city council

IBEW local 2222 today endorsed at-large City Council candidate Andrew Kenneally. Local 2222 President Myles Calvey said in a statement:

"Andrew is a forward-thinking individual, and understands that the key to growth lies in innovation. He knows the work we do and the need to implement new technologies such as FIOs to ensure that Boston remains competitive in the global economy. Andrew has always been a tireless advocate for working families and the protection of workers' rights. Aside from a passion to help people and his strong roots in Boston, Andrew has the knowledge, experience and vision to help Boston through these tough times to make our great city even greater.  We are proud to put our full support behind him," said the President of IBEW, Local 2222, Myles Calvey.

Kenneally is one of more than a dozen candidates seeking one of four open at-large seats this fall. A September preliminary will whittle the field down to eight for the November final election.
