Candidate, Staffers Mourn Loss of Massachusetts Senator

Boston, MA – Thursday, August 27, 2009-The campaign to elect Andrew Kenneally announced late Wednesday evening that all campaign activities will be temporarily put on hold in honor of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

The Senator’s dedication to public service has always served as a source of inspiration for Kenneally, who says that Senator Kennedy’s courage during his struggle with brain cancer gave him guidance as he faced his own diagnosis of a benign brain tumor eleven months ago.

“Senator Kennedy’s courage to fight until his very last day for the ability of all Americans to lead lives of opportunity is awe-inspiring. I pledge to, like Senator Kennedy did for nearly half a century on behalf of the people of Massachusetts, to advocate tirelessly for the concerns of the people of Boston,” Andrew Kenneally said.

“When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that turned out to be benign eleven months ago, I remember drawing strength from Senator Kennedy’s ceaseless passion as he went to bat for struggling Americans even as he faced his own personal struggle with cancer,” Kenneally added.

Kenneally campaign activities will resume as scheduled on Monday, August 31, 2009.
