Lyons Endorses in Senate Race

The primary is set for April 30.

State Rep. Jim Lyons, who represents the Essex 18th District including much of North Andover, has endorsed Michael Sullivan in the primary race for U.S. Senate.

"I am proud to endorse Mike Sullivan for the U.S. Senate," Lyons said in a statement. "Mike understands the lessons we learned from President Ronald Reagan. Mike recognizes that our citizens are best served by a smaller government, a government that promotes individual responsibility and personal freedoms. Mike Sullivan is a true leader and will be a great United States Senator."

Sullivan is running against Republicans Gabriel Gomez and Daniel Winslow for the GOP nomination. The primary winner will face off against the Democrats' pick in the general election in June.

"I am pleased to have Jim's support," Sullivan said. "Jim and I both know that adding more regulations isn't going to help businesses grow and isn't going to create more jobs. I am looking forward to campaigning throughout the State."
