Ed is proud to have received endorsements from a broad coalition of community leaders and organizations.

“I am extremely proud to endorse my friend, Ed Flynn, for the Boston City Council District 2 seat. Ed is such a good and decent man. He is a wonderful reflection of his Dad, Ambassador Ray Flynn and his Mom, Cathy. I have known Ed for at least 30 years. From his patriotic service in the United States Navy – to his ongoing efforts to ensure that Veterans and their families receive the care and benefits that they have earned – Ed has shown a willingness to serve others and to be an advocate for people who can’t always provide for themselves. I am also very proud of the work that Ed Flynn has done at the U.S. Department of Labor where he was a true champion for America’s working families. I have also seen how involved that Ed and his wife Kristen have been in the community while raising their two children so I am absolutely certain that Ed will fight to improve the quality of life for residents from South Boston and Chinatown to the South End, Bay Village, and Downtown.”

“Having known Ed Flynn for many years, I’m proud to throw my support behind him, because I know he’s the right person to lead our district. Whether it’s connecting neighbors to recovery services, helping veterans find housing, standing up for the community on development issues, or organizing a local community event, Ed is there for us. He has been his whole life, and he will be for many years to come.”

“I grew up with Ed. I played youth sports with Ed. And what I know most about Ed is that he loves to help people. His community involvement is unmatched. Whether it’s coaching youth sports, working with civic associations, attending public meetings, or assisting with community events, he’s always engaged and involved. He’s always there. He’s a guy who always puts community first. He loves to be a problem solver. He takes the time to listen to residents and find a solution. He always tries to find that common ground.”
