In the other corner…the challenger

This morning I met Senator Ted Kennedy’s potential challenger this year: Mr. Kevin Scott boarded the 8:55 train to Haverhill at Wakefield (his home town) with one staffer in tow, collecting signatures to get his name on the ballot. He didn’t have a sheet for Cambridge residents, but I wholeheartedly support and encourage his effort. We need more of what Mr. Scott is doing. There are a handful of people challenging long standing incumbents. Regardless of stated party or platform, if you aren’t happy with your Senator and he or she is being challenged then vote against them. Give someone else a chance for 6 years.

Do I agree with everything Kevin Scott stands for? No.
Do I think he represents the kind of shake up our government needs? Most definitely.
