TRURO – Cape and Islands State Senate Candidate Julian Cyr has announced two endorsements as he seeks his party’s nomination for the seat this fall.

The Massachusetts Organization of State Engineers and Scientists, or MOSES, and the national Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund have announced their support of the Truro democrat.

Officials with MOSES cited Cyr’s support of labor as one of the reasons for their endorsement. The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund works to elect openly LGBT candidates to public office.

Cyr, who formerly worked for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, is running against 2nd Barnstable State Rep. Brian Mannal and Barnstable County Commissioner Sheila Lyons in the primary.

Retired Joint Base Cape Cod Commander Anthony Schiavi and Barnstable Town Councilor Jim Crocker are seeking the Republican nomination.

State Senator Dan Wolf (D-Harwich) is not seeking re-election.
