Join the new world

Let me start by saying like all freshmen Senators I am thrilled to have been chosen to represent their state in Congress. I promise to abide by my campaign platform and provide weekly reports concerning my voting record, platform goal achievements and Congressional updates.

I am aware that I ran unopposed. I was not expecting this and was truly surprised by it. For those of you that decided to vote for me in spite of my winning by default, I thank you. For those of you who were disappointed by the lack of a choice in this election, I share your feelings. While it is exciting to be the next Senator to represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that emotion is tempered by the fact that I won by default and not necessarily on the strength of my platform, personality or campaign. One of my platform goals is to reduce the apparent division, strife and rancor that pervades eUS politics and political discussions. In furtherance of this goal I would like to open my door to any constituent desiring communication with my office.

I am also considering putting together a constituent team composed of different party members in order to more truly represent Massachusetts, its residents and their concerns.

Once again, thank you for allowing me to serve you.

Senator, Massachusetts
