As reported in the Boston Globe ("Former tech-group leader Tom Hopcroft drops state Senate bid"), I'm ending my campaign for State Senate. I entered this race because Massachusetts is at a pivotal moment, entering an era defined by rapid change, and I believed I would bring a fresh, future-oriented perspective that's needed on Beacon Hill. The playing field, however, tilts more toward those with deep infrastructure and war chests than ideas, so I'm taking a different path. I'll meet with the candidates to learn how they plan to lead on climate, innovation, health, education, housing, and transparent government, and I'll share their views with my followers. My campaign may be ending, but my mission continues. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who helped build something meaningful.
