Time To SayThank You

Following Marshall Horwitz's lead in his e-mail to area Republicans, I dedicate today's entry to thanking everyone who has contributed to State Representative Lew Evangelidis' campaign for House minority leader. Thank you for writing letters to The Telegram & Gazette, as well as to papers outside the region. Thank you for calling and e-mailing radio talk shows to direct the conversation towards Rep. Evangelidis. Thank you for contacting friends and family throughout the state and encouraging them to write letters to their local papers. Thank you for supporting our great Representative Lew Evangelidis!

A very special thank you goes out to Dick Callahan, Chairman of the Holden Republican Town Committee, who knows how to put it all together and does it. To Marshall Horwitz, Vice-Chairman of the HRTC, who through his example and his words, has taught me the importance of expressing gratitude, I say thank you for that lesson, as well as for the tremendous amount of time, energy and intellectual sweat you've put into this effort in so many ways. Marshall and Dick are exemplary in their commitment to improve the political climate in this state and their understanding of how to enact that change is sound.

To Representative Lew Evangelidis, thank you for being the candidate. Thank you for representing us and for making us proud to be Republicans. Thank you for the tremendous amount and quality of work you do. We wish you the best in today's vote and regardless of the outcome, we consider you the leader, not just of House Republicans, but of the Republican Party in Massachusetts.
