The Democratic and Republican candidates for 5th District Governor’s Council have received endorsements ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 5, state and presidential election.
Republican Anne Manning-Martin was recently endorsed by the Massachusetts Coalition of Police, known as MassCop for short. The state’s largest law enforcement union says “it is important to have Anne’s commitment to public safety for the citizens of the Commonwealth.”
Democrat Eunice D. Zeigler recently received the endorsements of state Rep. Manny Cruz of Salem, who also serves as vice chair of the Salem School Committee.
Manning-Martin, a Peabody city councilor since 2008 and who works as a deputy superintendent for the Department of Correction at the Shattuck Hospital Correctional Unit, has worked 32 years in public safety and says she will continue to put the safety of residents first.
Cruz said of Zeigler, “Her unwavering commitment to criminal justice reform, to survivors, and her belief in appointing judges and public servants of high integrity and sound jurisprudence make her the ideal candidate to serve on the Governor’s Council.”
Both Manning-Martin and Zeigler seek to succeed five-term Governor’s Councilor Eileen R. Duff’s, who has chosen to seek the vacant post of Essex County Register of Deeds.
The 5th District includes Groveland, Haverhill, Lawrence, Merrimac, Methuen, North Andover and West Newbury, among other communities.
