Margot ran a campaign that was powered by good ideas and incredible supporters and volunteers. In the end, we came up a bit short, finishing a very close second to John Mahoney. Please see the post below for Margot's message about the results, and about the campaign in general.

We'd like to thank our volunteers and staff. We'd also like to thank Mayor Joe O'Brien and former City Councilor Steve Patton, as well as our oganizational support from: Clean Water Action, Mass Alliance, Massachusetts League of Environmental Voters, Mass NOW, Massachusetts Nurses Association, Massachusetts Sierra Club, Massachusetts Teachers Association, National Association of Social Workers, Neighbor to Neighbor, Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, SEIU 509 Massachusetts Union for Human Service Workers, SEIU Local 615 Property Service Workers, SEIU 1199 United Healthcare Workers East, and the SEIU State Council.

Above all else, this message of the campaign remains the same, and it's for ALL of our supporters:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

For Immediate Release

I am surprised and saddened that any Democrat seeking to represent us would take money from a group that opposes equality for many of our neighbors and promotes intolerance. It is important that we stand together for the basic rights of all families.
