Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick endorsed Warren Tolman for Attorney General on Thursday, just five days before the state primary election.

"I am endorsing Warren because I know from his campaign and from a deep personal relationship with him that he will be an activist AG, and I am excited about that," Patrick said in a statement. "From gun safety to health care costs to consumer protection and civil rights, I want an AG who will not only enforce the law effectively, but also use the influence of the office strategically to improve the lives and prospects of Massachusetts people and small businesses. Warren Tolman will be that kind of leader. I am proud to endorse him today and urge voters in the Democratic primary on September 9th to join me in voting for him."

Tolman said he is "grateful, and so honored" to have Patrick's support.

Tolman is facing off against Maura Healey, a former assistant attorney general, in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary. The lone Republican candidate is attorney John Miller.
