A Salute to my Brother/Mayoral Race

The primaries for the mayoral race in Massachusetts has ended, and despite an amazing effort, my brother Doug wound up just 3% shy of being in the run-off for November. He was one of 4 candidates (which included the mayor currently in office). A former mayor who ecided to run again was the candidate who made the run-off against the current mayor.

Doug went on the air to a local radio program and gave his reaction and what he's doing next. He has a lot more class that I will ever have. He's a very educated man and an eloquent speaker.
Here's Doug's 8 minute radio interview, Post-Election

As I said before- I am SO proud of my brother Doug for running a great campaign for Mayor of our hometown. Sadly, he missed out on being one of the 2 mayoral candidates by a tiny margin. If only people that voted for the others would've learned about all he accomplished in public service as a Ward 5 councilor for 14 years- they ALL would have voted for him. I've never seen a city councilor care more for their city and for the people who live in the city. * Doug ALWAYS made time to address every concern and helped people nights, weekends and holidays even taking precious time away from his family. * In my opinion, Quincy just suffered a massive loss for moving forward. Doug's love for the city and passion is unmatched. I only hope that people in office will learn from Doug.
