10 Reasons Why Bob Reich is the Best Candidate for Women

1. Bob is and always has been a strong supporter of a woman’s right to choose.

2. He will advocate for family-friendly policies that help balance the demands of work and family. As U.S. Secretary of Labor, Bob helped implement the Family and Medical Leave Act, and will fight for paid family leave in Massachusetts.

3. Bob is donating all the proceeds from his latest book, “I’ll Be Short: Essentials for a Decent Working Society,” to the Boston Medical Center’s Domestic Violence Project.

4. Bob will fight for legislation to extend domestic partnership benefits to state and municipal workers, and supports full marriage rights for gays and lesbians.

5. As U.S. Secretary of Labor, Bob successfully fought to raise the minimum wage and supports indexing it to inflation.

6. Bob is committed to ensuring that women are not held back by the glass ceiling. As U.S. Secretary of Labor, he appointed women to many high-level positions in the Labor Department.

7. Bob believes education should be the Commonwealth’s top priority, and will establish an Education Trust Fund to ensure that our schools are fully funded, even in times of budget shortfalls.

8. Bob has the experience and the dedication necessary to turn the state’s economy around.

9. Bob isn’t tied to Beacon Hill’s culture of patronage, cronyism, and waste. When elected, Bob will clean house.

10. Bob is dedicated to increasing access to affordable health care and expanding the supply of affordable housing in the Commonwealth.
