Scott Brown, one of five Republicans in the state Senate, announced his support on Monday for Jennifer Nassour's candidacy for chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party.

"I have officially endorsed Jennifer Nassour because she has a clear vision for the future of the party," Brown, a Wrentham Republican, said. "She is a breath of fresh air and has the experience and skills necessary to usher the party back to where we should be so that we can bring reform, common sense, and balance to state...government."

The Massachusetts Republican Party is coming off of a disappointing election in which it lost three seats in the state legislature. The state committee will vote for its next chair on Jan. 27. Currently, Nassour is the only declared candidate to replace current chairman Peter Torkildsen, who is not seeking re-election.

Nassour, a Boston state committeewoman, welcomed the endorsement.

"I'm honored to have the support of Sen. Brown who is a strong, respected leader for our party," she said. "Sen. Brown understands that we must all focus on rebuilding the grassroots of our party if we are to find future success."
