October 5, 2024

Steve Xiarhos announced today the endorsement of former Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker in his bid for re-election in the 5th Barnstable District.

In a written statement, Baker said:

“Steve Xiarhos embodies everything right and honorable about public service. I had the pleasure of working with Steve in the Legislature during my time as Governor, and I appreciated the energy, enthusiasm, and pride he brought to serving his constituents. His unwavering support for veterans and first responders stands out, as does his ability to work across party lines. Steve’s successful passage of Nero’s Bill as a freshman legislator was a testament to his dedication and spirit—he’s not your typical politician. He’s someone special.

Steve is working hard to make Cape Cod a better, safer, and more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family. The people of the 5th Barnstable District should be proud to have Steve as their State Representative. He serves with integrity, accountability, and a relentless work ethic. I am pleased to endorse Steve Xiarhos for re-election this November.”

Charlie Baker served as the 72nd Governor of Massachusetts from 2015 to 2023. He previously held cabinet positions in two prior administrations and spent ten years as the CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. Recognized as one of America’s most popular governors, Baker was known for his practical, bipartisan approach to state government.

Steve Xiarhos has served as State Representative for the 5th Barnstable District since 2021. The district includes the Town of Sandwich and portions of Barnstable (Precincts 10, 11, and 12) and Bourne (Precincts 1, 2, 3, 5A, and 7).
