Here's this morning's message from the Barrios campaign. Dear friend,
I am writing with news that I would like to share with you personally,
because of your support for my work and my candidacy for District
Attorney of Middlesex County. After great soul-searching, I have
decided to suspend my campaign for D.A. and to seek re-election to the
state Senate.
We made great gains in this campaign since launching it last year. I
have been humbled by the support we received from the State Police
Association and numerous other police and public safety organizations,
as well as from mayors, Congressmen, union leaders and colleagues in
the legislature. From the very first day, we were successful in
articulating a compelling vision for the office, raising money for the
campaign, and building a top-notch organization throughout Middlesex
County. I have no doubt that we would have been successful on Election
Day.
However, the rigors of working more than 100 hours a week on the
campaign have imposed major burdens on my young family. At this time
in their lives, the children need more time with their parents. And I
cherish my time with them. I simply could not justify the sacrifices
involved in running for this office, when there is so much that I can
continue to accomplish in the Senate.
In the Senate, I have strived to provide leadership on public-safety
issues and serve as a voice for people who need a strong advocate.
Moving forward, my priorities are cracking down on domestic violence
and identity theft, addressing bullying and violence in schools, and
advancing progressive priorities on a variety of other issues.
Of course, I will have to run for re-election in a field with several
challengers. I will be going door-to-door throughout my Senate
district, asking my constituents for their vote so that I may continue
working for them on Beacon Hill. I hope to count on your continued
support.
Again, I want you to know how much I appreciate the commitment you have made to me and my career in public service. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jarrett
