Congratulations to Senator-elect Mike Brady who won Tuesday’s special state Senate election. I’m proud of the work we did collectively – as a Party – to defeat a Tea Party Republican who, with the help of conservative Super PACs, tried to buy this election. We used grassroots, door-to-door campaigning to fight back against an onslaught of outside spending, negative attacks and misinformation.
Statewide Republicans, including Gov. Charlie Baker, tried to make this election a referendum. However, voters in this District sent a clear message today that they support Democrats like Mike Brady who will fight for working families.

This race was about values, plain and simple. Mike showed that when you talk about fighting for issues important to working families, like raising the minimum wage, maintaining services for education, seniors and veterans and tackling the opioid epidemic, you win – even when you’re outspent by more than two-to-one.

Let’s use this race as a blueprint for how to win across the state.
