Representative Dylan Fernandes, candidate for Massachusetts State Senate (Plymouth & Barnstable), was endorsed today by six Senators and Representatives in the Plymouth & Barnstable District including Sue Moran, current State Senator for the Plymouth & Barnstable district, Senator Julian Cyr (Cape & Islands) and Representatives Kathy LaNatra (12th Plymouth), Sarah Peake (4th Barnstable), Kip Diggs (2nd Barnstable), and Chris Flanagan (1st Barnstable)..
“I’m honored to receive the support of legislative leaders across the Plymouth & Barnstable region,” Fernandes said. “I want to thank Senator Moran for her leadership and mentorship, and for trusting me to continue her legacy of service.”
The South Shore and Cape Cod legislators praised Fernandes for his record of delivering results for the region, his advocacy for clean air and water, and his vision for a more vibrant and affordable Plymouth and Barnstable.
Senator Julian Cyr: “Dylan has a track record of delivering results for his constituents, and we’ve teamed up on a myriad of challenging issues. Few elected officials are more effective or as grounded in the lived challenges that Cape Codders and South Shore residents face. The people of the Barnstable & Plymouth District would be very well served to be represented by Dylan in the Senate. He has my enthusiastic endorsement.”
Representative Kathy Lanatra: “Dylan’s dynamic approach and legislative experience ensure effective results for our community. Witnessing his tireless efforts on the campaign trail convinces me that he’ll be an unmatched State Senator.”
Representative Sarah Peake: “Dylan is a collaborator. Over the past eight years I have worked with him and seen firsthand how he collaborates with colleagues in Boston, partners with people of all backgrounds on the Cape and Islands, and delivers real results for our region. From water quality to housing to sea level rise, Dylan is a leading voice on the issues impacting our coastal communities.”
Senator Sue Moran: “People tell me they see me “everywhere” working on the issues our communities care about.” I’m endorsing Dylan because I am confident he will continue the level of commitment to service that the Plymouth-Barnstable District deserves.”
Fernandes has also been endorsed by Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. Fernandes, who has served as the State Representative for the Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket district since 2017, is running to succeed Moran, who announced she would not seek re-election last November.
