THE MARKEY COMMITTEE
The latest UMass Lowell poll shows us closing in on Joe Kennedy.
The latest UMass Lowell poll of our race shows us down by 2 points. Person by person, we are closing the gap. But Kennedy has launched a $2.4 million ad campaign against us, and the only way we stand a chance against his big money is if we continue to build a grassroots army unlike anything Massachusetts has seen before. Can we count on you to rush a donation to our campaign?
