Major Endorsemet by respected community leader.

Fall is in the air and the election campaigning is now is high gear. This past week there was a very significant event, we picked up the endorsement of Frank Del Vecchio; and I quote:

"Frank has really come through for residents. He is what Boston pols used to call a "stand up guy". Frank has continually appeared at hearings on behalf of residents. He did so yesterday, right into the teeth of the hotel and entertainment lobby. He stood up and testified to the planning board, and he had totally synthesized the issues and was forceful and convincing in his argument. Even though I had heard him speak out on Sunset Harbor issues, to me this was his finest moment. It gave me great confidence in him not only as someone who has irrevocably committed himself to residential issues, but as a candidate who I am convinced will be able to serve forcefully and effectively on the commission dais, willing and able to take on special interest commissioners."
Frank Del Vecchio

It is truly an honor and a privilege to have to add his name to our growing list of supporters.

Endorsement

We are honored to announce that Victor Diaz has formerly endorsed our campaign for commissioner.
