The race for the Middlesex Suffolk & Essex seat really can be won by almost anyone. This is a very short election. All seven candidates are running in the Democratic primary on April 13th. Given that the district is leans strongly Democratic, whoever wins the primary is almost certain to get the seat even if a strong Republican challenger appears.

Since its a special election for a single state level position, with seven very similar progressive candidates its likely that there will not be a strong turnout for the election. So this race will  be won by a candidate who gathers as few as about 4000 votes. Its going to come down to who has the best ground game – who  can get the largest number of hardcore supporters to the polls on April 13th.

Tim Flaherty Raises $60,000 in a Single Event

Tim Flaherty

Tim Flaherty‘s campaign released this press release:

The Committee to Elect Tim Flaherty last night hosted a major fundraising event that brought in over $60,000 for the campaign, according to a press release this afternoon. The event, held in Boston at the Nine Zero Hotel, drew over 200 supporters.

“Winning this election will require hard work, commitment, and the funds necessary to get our message out to voters,” said Flaherty, a former Assistant District Attorney. “Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our supporters, we will have all three. In the coming weeks, I look forward to talking with voters in the district about the issues that matter to them, such as jobs, education, and public safety, and I’m confident we’ll prevail on April 13th.”

The campaign reports that in less than one month, Flaherty has raised more than $80,000 for the special election.

That’s a lot of money for a single event in a State Senate race, and probably puts him well ahead of his competitors fund raising. Flaherty is a former prosecutor and a practicing lawyer. He has gotten his organization and fundraising efforts up quickly. And he has already gained the backing of 4 labor unions.

Clearly Tim is one of the favorites of the machine.

And why not, after all Tim Flaherty is the son of former house speaker Charles Flaherty, who went down in disgrace for tax fraud.

His public positions are straight party line Democratic positions which doesn’t bode well for him being much of an independent.
