Dorchester
“Latoya is a mother, a wife, and a strong community advocate for Boston's diverse neighborhoods. She has the ability to meet everyone where they are, including the youth and the seniors in every community in Boston. She believes seniors should age in place, and more affordable housing should be available for families to stay together and age together generationally. She's a leading advocate for mothers’ rights, children's rights and family rights. She is focusing on real family values and showing up to support all people's rights. That's why I'm endorsing Latoya Gayle for State Senator.”
Steve Hollinger

“As a 36-year resident of Fort Point and business owner, I’m supporting Latoya Gayle, not only because her views are aligned with my own, but because she has the smarts and relationship-building skills necessary to deliver on what Boston needs. We face significant challenges, from housing and mobility to climate change, and we just can’t be complacent any longer about tackling them.”
Kate Warren Barnes

“Latoya Gayle brings heart, clarity, and purpose to everything she does. She’s driven by a deep commitment to uplifting others and creating meaningful, lasting impact in our community and beyond. I'm proud to endorse Latoya because I know she will be ready on day one to represent the First Suffolk district in the MA State Senate.“
Ann Walsh

“I have so much respect for Latoya and am inspired by the way she understands how complex policy affects her neighbors. She is well positioned to represent the whole district’s diverse voices and she really understands the lived experiences of people in the 1st Suffolk. I support this campaign because it’s Latoya’s campaign, and I deeply believe she is the right person for the job.”
Ben and Jane Siegel
South End
“Latoya Gayle fights for property tax relief and equity for everyday Bostonians and not tax breaks for big corporations and commercial real estate owners. She supports mixed income communities, embraces immigrant communities and serves ALL the people in the Senate district. We know she is someone who understands what keeps communities safe, breaks the school to prison pipeline and supports police reform, which is why we support Latoya for State Senate.”
Rachele Gardner
Dorchester
“I am proud to support Latoya Gayle because she is the real deal. Latoya understands the joys and struggles of our community because she’s walking alongside us everyday. She’s in our schools, our businesses, and our neighborhoods. Latoya always shows up with a listening ear and a commitment to action, bringing people together to solve problems while never losing sight of those she serves. We will be fortunate to have her as our State Senator.”
