Boston – The Amazigh American Community, today endorsed Ihssane leckey (Democratic Party) for election to the U.S. House to represent Massachusetts’ 4th Congressional District.
Ihssane ,34, came to the U.S. from Morocco at the age of 20 with nothing but a small suitcase and worked sub-minimum wage jobs to become the first person in her family to graduate from college. Following the 2008 financial crisis, her commitment to justice led her to take on the corrupt corporations as a Wall Street regulator at the Federal Reserve.
“We need leaders who represent our diversity and our courage, who aren’t afraid to take on corrupt special interests and who know how to get it done.” Leckey said.
