CLT's 2½ PAC-endorsed legislative candidates for
election
Below is the list of the legislative candidates who have
so far been endorsed by CLT's 2½ PAC.
To receive our endorsement, incumbents must have a good CLT rating. New
candidates have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge and filled out the
taxpayer-issue questionnaire.
All of the challengers are running against an incumbent with a low CLT rating or
for an open seat. All endorsees so far are Republicans, though we're reaching
out to Democrats and independents as well.
A few more challengers will be added if other questionnaires and pledges are
returned, analyzed and decisions made as to the viablity of candidate campaigns.
In a few cases, we have a good response from candidates running against each
other in a primary, so must wait until after the primary election to endorse for
that seat.
Endorsed candidates are listed in alphabetic order, Senate first, then House.
The name and hometown of the endorsed candidate is listed on the left with a
check mark
for easier identification along with the campaign website
beneath. If running against an incumbent, that legislator's name appears across
on the right along with his or her 2009 CLT taxpayer rating.
If you have any helpful information about the candidates listed below, their opposition, or
other candidates not yet on the list, call Chip Faulkner at 508-915-3665 or email
PAC@cltg.org.
Thanks,
Chip Faulkner
 Note
1: Tuesday, May 11th,
was the special election for the State Senate seat
formerly held by Scott Brown. CLT's 2½ PAC endorsed
State Rep. Richard Ross
(R-Wrentham) for the seat. He won the election, with about 62% of the vote.
Revolution 2010 is off to an auspicious two-for-two start!
**
Note 2: Republican Richard Bastien, Democrat
Amy Knuuttila,
and Independent Carolyn Kamuda are all being endorsed for State
Representative in the Second Worcester district. This is the first triple
endorsement for one legislative seat in the 30-year history of CLTs 2½ PAC.
All three candidates filled out and returned taxpayer-friendly
questionnaires and signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge in which they
pledged to oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes;
Knuuttila has an opponent in the Democrat primary who has not.
This is the first time candidates from one district and three different
party designations have all shown this same strong support for the
taxpayers. The taxpayers of Ashburnham, Ashby, Gardner, Royalston and
Winchendon can feel comfortable voting for any of the three.
