Who’s giving how much?

February 28th, 2011 by Nancy

Ever wondered how people find out how much money a certain industry is giving to a certain politician? Well, now it’s as easy as cake. Just visit influenceexplorer.com, and enter the name of a big-time politician, company, or donor. You’ll get lists of top donors, industries, and, in the case of federal reps, earmarks. Webs of influence. Check out John Tierney, John Kerry, Scott Brown, Deval Patrick. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to include our state reps.

Election Results

November 13th, 2010 by secretary

Congratulations to Governor Patrick, Congressman Tierney, Senator Berry, Beverly State-Rep Elect Jerry Parisella, State Party Chairman John Walsh, and all Massachusetts Democratic candidates who were elected on November 2. We had some great victories, especially considering what happened across the nation in the mid-term elections.

We want to thank all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication. It certainly paid off!! And we had a lot of fun along the way.

The Coordinated Campaign Headquarters in Beverly was blessed to have Jody Asbury present in the office for several weeks. Jody’s daughter Sydney Asbury was Governor Patrick’s Campaign Manager. Jody did yeoman’s duty, supporting the Patrick Campaign and lending a hand in any way she could during her stay. Thank you, Jody!

Again, huge thanks to all volunteers!
