I first ran for Register of Deeds in 2016, as a first-time candidate with zero name recognition. I was endorsed by both the Boston Globe (the first time it has ever endorsed in the Register of Deeds race) and the Boston Herald. I fell short by just 4% in a 7-way competition. In 2018, I will take on an entrenched incumbent and win.
These are different times. We cannot wait for others to act. Initial support and earlyinvestment is critical to beating out the Old Boys Network and electing the first female Suffolk County Register of Deeds.
Progressives should be running for every office on the ballot. No more waiting in line and no more asking for permission to run for an officethat is occupied. Candidates should not be elected to office because their name is familiar, because the establishment supports them, or because itis their turn. Candidates should be elected to work for us. My commitment to the community is well-documented and I am the best candidate for the office.
Early support is critical – our opponent knows it'sa real race and he has always had the resources to fight off a challenge. With your support, we can match him dollar for dollar.
