I am honored to have the support of Senator Brown in my efforts to represent Beverly at the state house. The Senator fought hard for reform while serving on Beacon Hill and has brought a balanced voice of reason to Washington, putting Massachusetts first and staying focused on helping get people back to work and spending tax money wisely. I hope to do the same thing as Beverly's representative and will be working full-time on its behalf to get it done.
 
Brown was elected to the United States Senate in a special election in January, filling the Senate seat long-held by the late Edward "Ted" Kennedy. In the special election versus Democrat Martha Coakley and Independent Joe Kennedy, Brown won 55% of the vote in Beverly and won four of the city's six wards.
 
Senator Brown commented in his endorsement, "With his business background, Brett will bring much-needed solutions to getting our state's economy moving again. His perspective and proven economic record is what we need on Beacon Hill during these challenging times, and I am proud to endorse him." So far, the campaign has announced four formal endorsements of the campaign, including Brown's. We have also received the endorsement of popular Essex County Sheriff Frank Cousins, Citizens for Limited Taxation and the Massachusetts arm of the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

I am very happy with the endorsements I have received and feel they reflect my initial priorities as Beverly's state representative. Senator Brown and Sheriff Cousins are proven voices for reform who understand what it takes to work with other leaders and be successful on Beacon Hill. CLT has been fighting for taxpayers for decades and the NFIB endorsement shows that I am the candidate in this race who best understands how to help the small businesses that are critical to an economic turnaround."
