The MassEquality Political Action Committee (PAC) formally announced its second round of endorsements for the 2010 Massachusetts legislative elections on Aug. 10. (Click here to view the first round of endorsements.)

"We have a real opportunity to elect pro-equality legislators to seats now held by anti-equality lawmakers," said Dee Dee Edmondson, chair of the MassEquality PAC. "Nearly half of the seats in the Massachusetts state legislature are in play and it is critical that we elect pro-equality lawmakers to maintain our 151 super-majority in the legislature."

Candidates were selected for endorsement based on a variety of criteria, including the candidate's support for the Transgender Civil Rights Bill.
