Help Ed close the gap

The latest UMass Lowell poll shows us closing in on Joe Kennedy.

Ad copy

Here’s the truth: no one has ever beaten a Kennedy in Massachusetts history. But a recent poll of our race shows we’re just TWO points behind Joe Kennedy, and quickly closing the gap. We can win this thing, but we need your help. Will you chip in right now to help us take the lead and make history?
