PCCC, which is backing progressive champ Carl Sciortino (D. MA-05) in next week's special election to fill Senator Ed Markey's (D. MA) old congressional seat, is emphasizing another important reason why next week's primary is very important:
Carl Sciortino is from the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party -- and he could win a seat in Congress in just 6 days.
But first, he must defeat more conservative opponents.
One opponent thinks Citizens United was rightly decided. Another opponent's support for expanded government wiretapping is deeply unpopular with 57% of local voters.
Carl is surging in every recent poll, but his campaign needs our help this week to reach the final voters who will make the difference.

Carl supports holding Wall Street accountable, taxing the rich, college affordability, campaign finance reform, and protecting privacy.
One of Carl's opponents, State Sen. Katherine Clark, sponsored a major wiretapping bill. The ACLU says it allows "law enforcement to listen into private conversations for virtually any investigative purpose" -- ensnaring innocent people and those suspected of things like marijuana possession.
Carl was the first candidate to support the federal Amash Amendment to stop NSA spying on innocent Americans. And first bill Carl sponsored as a state representative was the "Buffer Zone" bill to protect women's privacy around abortion clinics, which was passed into law and is now going to the Supreme Court.
If you believe Elizabeth Warren deserves a strong, reliable, progressive fighter joining her in Congress, please help elect Carl Sciortino in the final 6 days.
