Somerville, MA - U.S. Senate candidate and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren today released the following statement:

"This election is about the direction our country will take. When Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate, he made it clear that the Republicans are racing in the wrong direction. Scott Brown and the Republicans are doubling down on policies that will hurt seniors, make it tougher for families to educate their children, and leave small businesses struggling. The Republican vision of the future is tax breaks for billionaires and repeal of reforms for Wall Street. President Obama believes in investing in the future and building opportunities for our children, and I will work with him for a stronger America."
