“Quentin is someone who shows up, who listens and who acts on behalf of our community,” Scanlon said. “I am confident that he has the skills and experience to advocate for the issues that matter most as Attorney General. Quentin will truly be the people’s lawyer, and for that he has my enthusiastic endorsement in this race.”<\/p>\n

“Quentin will be an advocate for issues that are important to the people of Attleboro, such as civil rights, LGBTQ rights and ending gun violence,” Parker said. “I am proud to be 100% behind Quentin in this important race.”<\/p>\n
