LEOMINSTER: Carpenters Local 107 has endorsed Natalie Higgins (D) in her campaign for State Representative of the 4th Worcester District (Leominster).

“Carpenters Local 107 is proud to support Natalie Higgins because she shares our commitment to bettering the lives of hard-working women and men that live in the Leominster community.
