Help Ed close the gap

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

Ad copy

The latest UMass Lowell poll shows this race is CLOSE, and it’s coming down to Joe Kennedy’s big money vs. our grassroots movement. Our opponent has a max-out machine, and he is using it to massively outspend us. But we’ve been out-organizing him, and if lots of people chip in what they can right now, our grassroots campaign will have the funds we need to fight back in the final stretch. Will you make a donation to help us keep up our momentum and win?
