Elizabeth Warren Holding Rally in Braintree on Sunday

Braintree High School will host the event two days before the election.

Two days before voters across the state decide whether to re-elect Sen. Scott Brown or send Elizabeth Warren to Washington, Braintree will host a campaign rally for the Democratic challenger.

The Warren campaign has rented the Braintree High School gymnasium on Sunday, Nov. 4 for an event that kicks-off at 1 p.m. Braintree Public Schools Business Manager Peter Kress confirmed the rental on Thursday night.

Warren is expected to arrive at about 1:30 p.m, Kress said. She previously held a public event in Braintree at Local 369's Emerald Hall in April. During that appearance, Warren, a Harvard University professor, spoke about her humble roots as the daughter of a maintenance man and the quality of life that comes with investing in research and infrastructure.
