Warren Supporters Rain on Brown’s Grand Opening in JP S tate representative Jeffrey Sanchez and Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson were two of the dozens of senate candidate Elizabeth Warren supporters who made their presence felt last Monday night in Jamaica Plain at Scott Brown’s new campaign office opening. “It’s the beauty of democracy, we all have a right and I am glad to see Jeff (Sanchez) and Tito (Jackson) here. We are in a country that does not stifle freedom of expression. A healthy dose of political diversity is always
a good thing. Hey, if it can get people to get out and vote, I am all for it”, said Laz Lopez, a long time JP resident and proud voter. Warren supporters countered the Brown followers in a not-too-often political bantering scene right in the heart of the Latino community - Centre Street. Both Jackson and Sanchez have been very visible in their support for Warren and have been key links to the Latino and African-American community for the senate candidate.
