Attorney General Maura Healey has endorsed Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley for Congress.

"For me, this isn't political, it's personal," Healey wrote in a statement. "Ayanna isn't just my City Councilor. She's not just my partner in government. She's someone who shares our values, and our priorities, who I've depended on for years."

Pressley faces incumbent Rep. Mike Capuano for his seat representing the 7th District of Massachusetts in the September primary.
