Welcome to our 2002 campaign web site. I’m glad you’re here because an effective campaign depends on partnership – and so does effective government. Working together over the past several years we have ensured that the priorities of our region are also priorities on Beacon Hill. We have brought millions of dollars in strategic investment and financial support to our communities and have provided leadership that has made a difference on many issues.

Yet greater challenges lie ahead for our Commonwealth. We must continue to work to improve and properly fund our educational system, to strengthen the economy, to reform our health care system to increase access and affordability, to maintain strong public safety, and to preserve, protect and enhance our environment and natural resources. Success in
these areas depends on leadership, and the history of our partnership proves that we can provide that leadership.

Now, however, campaign season is upon as and your participation is essential to our success. I hope you’ll visit the site often, that you’ll choose to get involved in the campaign, and that we’ll be able to count on your support on November 5th!

Sincerely,
Bruce Tarr
