The Pembroke Democratic Town Committee has endorsed Bill Keating
(D-Quincy) in the Democratic Primary for the 10th Congressional
District. Pembroke is the first Democratic Town Committee in the
district to endorse a candidate in the race to replace outgoing
Congressman Bill Delahunt, according to committee member Greg Hanley.

Keating, who has served as Norfolk County District Attorney since
1998, was the state representative from the Norfolk, Bristol and
Plymouth District and also served the communities of Plymouth and
Norfolk counties as state senator.

“Although it is unusual for a town committee to endorse this early in
the race, many of our members felt that Bill Keating really struck a
chord that resonated — that he is willing to fight for the issues that
really matter to the people of the 10th Congressional District. We
felt it was important for Pembroke to be the first on board with his
campaign,” Hanley said.

Keating said he was grateful to the committee for voting to endorse
his candidacy.

“I have been out talking to voters from Quincy to Cape Cod and the
islands, listening to their concerns about the economy and
unemployment, the national deficit, the rising costs of health care
and other important issues,” Keating said. “I’m running for Congress
because I want to help brings jobs back to this district, reform and
regulate Wall Street, and help rein in waste in government.”
