[MaineDem]

EMILY’s List endorsed Niki Tsongas (D), the widow of the late Sen. Paul Tsongas (D-MA), today in the Special Election race to fill Rep. Marty Meehan’s (D-MA 05) seat.

EMILY’s List Founder Ellen Malcolm: “Niki Tsongas has committed her life to serving others and will continue this exceptional legacy in the United States Congress. As an educator, a lawyer, a community activist, and a dedicated wife and mother, Niki will be a strong voice for the 5th district. EMILY’s List is thrilled at the opportunity to help Niki Tsongas become the first Democratic woman elected to the Massachusetts congressional delegation in more than 30 years.

I was in Massachusetts 30 years ago but I can't for the life of me remember a Democratic woman in Congress. I'm sure it'll be obvious as hell when I hear the name. All I can think of is Heckler but she was a Republican.

Good news for Niki, though!
