Pressley's office was notified Monday that a bomb threat was made against her home and her family, a spokesperson told Boston.com. The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office received the threat, and the Boston Police Department sent officers to her address.
We take these issues seriously and we are in touch with relevant officials regarding the investigation. SWATing threats like these pose a threat not only to elected officials, their families, and their staff, but also our neighbors and community and we strongly condemn them.
Last month, most of Connecticut's congressional delegation and Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Seth Magaziner of Rhode Island were targeted by bomb threats.
Pressley, a high-profile progressive who represents much of Boston and a few nearby suburbs, campaigned on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris this year.
