We’d like to thank all the candidates, people, and local media for coming out to our Candidate’s Forum in Watertown last night. The room was packed with easily a hundred or more people.
Jeff Semon and Frank Addivinola our congressional candidates running in the 5th Congressional district to unseat the “Undocumented Congressman” – Ed Markey, had a brief but healthy exchange of ideas.
The other candidates making their case before the voters were
State Senate Candidate:
Steve Aylward --- 2nd Suffolk and Middlesex,
State Representative Candidates:
Tommasina Olson ---24th Middlesex.
Francis Stanton --- 10th Middlesex
Thomas Vasconcelos ---26th Middlesex
Charles Klauder ---- 2nd Suffolk
Also in attendance was Matt Temperley, who is running for Congress in the MA 8th.
Thanks to Brad Garnet who spoke on behalf of The Massachusetts Victory office and Senator Scott Brown, Congressional Candidate (MA 3rd) Tom Weaver who spoke about the Voter ID initiative and the importance of activism, and to State Committee members Mike Cowett and Elizabeth Mahoney for serving as moderators.
Finally, would like to thank the Watertown, Belmont, Boston, Cambridge, & Waltham Republican Committees, along with the Greater Waltham Tea Party for sponsoring the event; and of course all the people who brought food, helped set up and breakdown. A special thanks to the Watertown Marine Corps League (Shutt Detachment) who didn’t just allow us to rent their facility, but were extra-ordinarily helpful in providing us with everything we needed to make the evening a terrific success.
