LOL! Thanks for the plug Mimi, but no Repub ties on this end. Unenrolled since first registering many moons ago…no money ever donated to either party, something I’m quite proud of.

I believe Matt Vieira is running for the seat currently held by Rep. Golden. He has mentioned it on Facebook and he told me last week he was running, but I didn’t see it in that Sun article this morning.
Matt, over to you — can you confirm?

I can confirm what Greg Page said. Matt Vieira has stated he is running.
Getting candidates is hard. Getting the money to run is harder. Look at the numbers provided by Richard Howe, Jr, for our local race for City Council.
In some ways changes to campaign contribution laws—efforts at reform—have made it harder for the smaller parties to gain traction, since no “Rich Uncle” can give a candidate a let up, unless it is the candidate himself or herself.

Cliff - that’s why I’m really for publicly funded campaigns!

Well, belay my last. Turns out Matt’s not running. What’s that they say about first reports from the field?
January 29th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Greg and Cliff…Matt V. had advised me early last week he was running against Tom Golden, so he generated his own field report. Not your fault he’s changed his mind.

Dems must recruit as well. Every year a few of the Republicans in this state go unopposed, which we really shouldn’t tolerate. Also different, possibly more progressive, Dems could make just as strong a case for cleaning up Beacon Hill in primaries.

Isn’t that the kid who announced for City Council and changed his mind? He’s waffling so much he’ll fit right in.
