Massachusetts Republicans Thirst For Hope

Representative Lew Evangelidis may have come up short by two votes on January 7th but he remains firm in his pursuit of changing the way Republicans conduct business on Beacon Hill and throughout the state. Mr. Evangelidis is determined to remake the GOP into something vibrant, active and relevant. He will not stick with the status quo.

"This Is a Day of New Beginnings" is a contemporary hymn with text written by Brian Wren and music composed by Carlton Young. Verse 1 speaks of today.

"This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone."

Our country's 44th President, the first African-American, starts his first day at the new job. Despite enormous complications and problems, Americans across this nation are reveling in the idea that we can once again believe in our government and allow ourselves to hope. Rep. Evangelidis stands ready to offer that same kind of hope to Republicans in Massachusetts. Doing things as they have always been done is no longer acceptable, with the palpable results being 16 Republican reps remain in the House. I would ask the GOP leadership to give hope a chance. Let the flowers bloom with Lew Evangelidis. Give the Republicans in this state something to believe in. Step aside, do what is best for the Republican Party and for Massachusetts and allow hope to thrive with new leadership in Representative Lew Evangelidis.

As part of Representative Evangelidis' ongoing campaign to remake the Republican Party, he and his caucus have formed a new website. Visit "Take Back Beacon Hill" by clicking on the link below. The link is also on the "permanent" side bar on the right under contact information.
