Rep Candidate
Paul Mark Earns Endorsement From Human Services Group |
Paul Mark,
Democratic candidate for state representative in the Second
Berkshire district, has received the endorsement of the Service
Employees International Union 509.
SEIU 509 represents 11,000 human service workers in Massachusetts,
who provide social services to elders, at-risk children, and people
with mental illness and developmental disabilities. It is the
largest and fastest-growing union in nation, with tremendous
organizing capacity.
“SEIU Local 509 is proud to endorse a candidate with the labor
credentials of Paul Mark,” said union member Brian Morrison. “With
Paul in the legislature, we are confident that the issues affecting
working families and the middle class will get the attention and
support they deserve.”
“SEIU 509 organizes in line with my campaign message, that our state
government has a serious responsibility to truly accountable and
responsive to people’s needs,” said Mark, upon receiving the
endorsement. “That means caring for the elderly and people who are
most at-risk in our society. I have sincerely vowed to take on this
crucial task.”
“Given SEIU’s enthusiasm for organizing its members and standing up
for the people they assist, we’re excited to have this campaign
boost,” added Mark campaign manager Steve Hoeschele.
The endorsement comes on the heels of Mark receiving the support of
the Berkshire Central Labor Council—a coalition of Berkshire County
unions with 45 representatives from over 25 trade groups. Mark has
also received endorsements from diverse trade groups including
nurses, police officers, ambulance workers, truck drivers, and a
variety of building trades. He also got a boost from MassAlliance, a
coalition composed of 22 progressive groups including state chapters
of Sierra Club, MassEquality, and Progressive Democrats, among
others.

Paul Mark earned several college degrees, including a doctorate and
a law degree, while working full-time for the phone company. He
commuted from the Berkshires to UMass-Amherst, Northeastern and
Suffolk Universities. Now he is running for the seat being vacated
by current Representative Denis Guyer.
The Second Berkshire district includes part of Pittsfield and 21
towns in Berkshire, Franklin and Hampshire Counties. |
