What an encouraging sign we’re seeing in Massachusetts! Sam Meas’ campaign volunteers gathered more than 5,000 raw signatures and more than 4,000 of them certified by the State. This makes Meas the candidate with the most signatures going into September’s GOP primary. If he wins that then it’s onto November against incumbent Niki Tsongas (D):
Sam Meas, candidate for Fifth Congressional District filed more than 4,000 nominating signatures with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts last week, guaranteeing the State Street Global Advisors Executive a spot on September’s primary ballot. Meas’ strong numbers further ensure his status as among the frontrunners in a crowded field.
Greg Page, Field Coordinator for the Sam Meas for Congress campaign acknowledged today that over 4,000 certified signatures had been turned over last week to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. According to the Secretary of State, the Meas campaign had collected the largest amount of certified signatures. The total amount of signatures collected for all the candidates are as follows:
Sam Meas (R) - 4010
Niki Tsongas (D)- 3617
Tom Weaver (R) – 3285
Robert Shapiro (R)- 2812
Jon Golnik – (R) 2339
Robert Clarke (U) – 2156
Meas was profiled on this blog here.
Looks like Meas has the momentum advantage in MA-05, at least for now, with much thanks to his hardworking volunteers. Let’s help keep this momentum going for another three months. And who knows, maybe we can send another conservative Asian to Congress!
