number of centrist Democrats are endorsing the Republican senator in

Democratic Worcester, Mass. City Councilor and former mayor Konnie Lukes endorsed Brown Monday afternoon at Worcester City Hall, two hours after Flynn offered his endorsement.
Lukes cited the senator’s bipartisan credentials as the main factor behind her endorsement in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon.
