Jeff Thielman, a candidate for state representative in the 23rd Middlesex (Arlington and West Medford), has received endorsements from state Sen. Jim Marzilli, state Rep. Paul Donato and the League of Environmental Voters of Massachusetts (MLEV). The Boston Globe added its endorsement Jan. 30.

This news follows announcements from a number of unions supporting Sean Garballey, joining Thielman as the top competitors among Democrats in the race, eight days before the Feb. 5 primary.

In a news release, Marzilli, representing the 4th Middlesex district, said, "Jeff Thielman is an exceptionally well-qualified candidate for the House. I look forward to Jeff joining me in the State House as a courageous partner in government."

Rep. Donato is a Democrat representing the 35th Middlesex (Medford and Malden). 

MLEV works to educate voters about important environmental issues and has recognized in Thielman as a candidate committed to addressing the significant challenges Massachusetts communities are facing int his area. 

In its news release, MLEV, which calls itself a nonpartisan political voice for the environment, cited Thielman's strong commitment to environmental issues affecting Arlington and West Medford.

“MLEV is proud to endorse Jeff Thielman, a public servant who understands the need to safeguard the health of our communities,” said MLEV Executive Director Lora Wondolowski.  “We need more environmental champions on Beacon Hill and Jeff would be a real leader on these critical issues.” 

In his MLEV questionnaire, Thielman cited reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating strong energy policy and reducing toxics from discarded electronic equipment as his top environmental priorities.

"I am delighted to have received the endorsement of the Massachusetts League of Environmental Voters. In the absence of federal leadership, state governments have a crucial role to play in addressing climate change.  I also look forward to working hard on local environmental issues, especially flooding issues," said Thielman.

For more information about Thielman's position on the environment, see his Web site, www.jeffthielman.com, or review the MLEV questionnaire.
