Why did you decide to run for Massachusetts State Senate in 2004? Did you ever think you had a chance of winning?
No. I ran as a Republican in one of the most Democratic districts in Massachusetts, my opponent was the second most powerful person in the Massachusetts State Senate, and even Republicans in my district had a high opinion of him.
Why did you run?
I wanted to get more involved in local Republican politics and no one was running in the district and it was suggested that I run. It turned out to be a good decision as I had a lot of fun debating my opponent and going to political events. Since winning wasn't an option, it was even mostly stress free.
I have a political question/proposition I have been pondering, and you, an intelligent semi-involved Massachusetts Republican, are precisely the kind of person who could answer it usefully. May I ask it to you in a private message?
Yes
