Sunrise Western Mass Coalition had endorsed Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse in his bid to unseat U.S. Representative Richard Neal in the Democratic primary for Massachusetts's First Congressional District this September because of Morse's left-wing views, but now that's no longer the case.
The 31-year-old Morse has been subjected to controversy regarding sexual relations he had with college students as young as 18 years old, including some at UMass Amherst where he taught.
A homosexuality-affirming political action committee is continuing its support for Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse after allegations that he used his contacts with College Democrats at two western Massachusetts colleges to pursue sexual hookups with undergraduates.
University of Massachusetts Amherst officials say they are investigating the allegations, brought to light late last week when College Democrats disinvited Morse from events at the school, saying he acted inappropriately. Morse was a lecturer in political science at the school until this past weekend, when university officials announced they don't plan to bring him back.
