  As a supporter of Passoni, as well as a worker earlier in the

  campaign, I am disappointed in the election results, but also believe

  Mr. Michlewitz deserves our congratulations on his success in this

  hard fought race.  Additionally, I think all the candidates deserve

  not only our congratulations, but our sincere admiration.  This

  Democratic Primary was an intense and extremely competitive race.

  It is my hope that we acknowledge and appreciate the dedication that

  each candidate has given.  Despite individual policy differences,

  these individuals ran because they wanted to improve the lives of the

  citizens of the 3rd Suffolk and of the Commonwealth.  For this we must

  say thank you.

  The primary has highlighted major concerns facing individuals and

  families . I strongly hope that during the general election the

  candidates will continue to focus on the important issues facing us

  all.  For this to happen, the media must also refrain from

  sensationalized reporting that only detracts from a substantive

  debate.  While the personal information and history of candidates can

  at times be relevant, it is vital that the focus remains on the

  issues and events that resonate with the voters and contribute to a

  healthy pubic debate.

  On Tuesday only 15 percent of registered voters went to the polls (as

  reported by the Globe).  During the General Election the candidates

  must continue to reach out to the voters. They must show the citizens

  of the 3rd Suffolk district why this election is relevant and just

  what is truly at stake.

  During the primary, the candidates have done their part.

  Congratulations to all.  As voters, it is important that we do ours.

  Nice for Aaron that he'll go into office AFTER the vote to raise the sales tax. Good timing.
