for office as a state representative in Massachusetts. I know this is a national blog and this is more of a local race, but I wanted to share this news on Dailykos because it was of blogs like this among some others that made me feel like I could run and I could win. I was prepared to run against an incumbent because like many of the state representatives in Massachusetts, he was a Democrat, but he was very conservative. I was going to offer the progressive alternative in the primary.
However, before I could make the final decision to run and begin the filing process the incumbent announced he was not going to seek re-election, so its a whole new ballgame. Either way, I wanted to say thanks to Dailykos and thanks to everyone who posts and reads, the strength of a community has helped me find my voice. With this voice I hope to represent the people of Worcester's 6th District in Massachusetts.
