Thank You, Pam Resor. And, I Endorse Eldridge!

by at 10:16 pm.

Blue Mass Group and the Sun reported that state Senator Pam Resor is stepping down at the end of her term. The Senator has been a courageous and bold leader in the Senate and she will be missed. No one could have asked for better service.

And I know that nothing is official, no candidates are yet announced, but if and when Rep. Jamie Eldridge declares a run for the seat, this endorsement will be here waiting for him. I don’t know if that’s unprecidented (or quite possibly rude), but that’s how much I like Jamie and his platform. There wasn’t one position he held in the 5th District Congressional race that I didn’t agree with. If there were a clone of me in office, and that clone were really really tall and a boy, it would look like Jamie Eldridge.

So, call this a pre-endorsement endorsement. Of course, I will need to hear Jamie’s stand on the Governor’s casino proposal, but I trust he will be very thorough in his research. (According to this, he appears skeptical.)

And if he doesn’t run for this seat, I will pout a lot in his general direction!

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything Lynne said. Pam Resor has been one of the best advocates we have ever had in the Massachusetts Legislature - whether you are in her Senate District or not.

    I agree that Jamie Eldridge would be the best candidate to run for State Senator. His progressive values, thoughtful intelligence, and kind manner have always impressed me.

    Pam Resor was great. Truly one of the good guys.

    I didn’t vote for Eldridge in the Congressional election, but I certainly liked him well enough to hope he steps us and takes this seat.

    You had me at “if and when Rep. Jamie Eldridge declares”. Go Jamie!

    Any word on who might look to replace him? We need progressive Reps, too.
