As I do a post on the Fifth Congressional results I know I will get some flames about being very late but I had essentially not posted for a week after the results came in. Congratulations to Niki Tsongas and Jim Ogonowski for their victories. I endorsed Eileen Donoghue in the race, and I congratulate her for running a strong campaign and being very gracious to Mrs. Tsongas after the primary. I attended the unity breakfast the next day and I look forward to a vibrant campaign that deals with the issues so critical to our region’s future. The post-primary positioning has begun, and I would like to point to Dick Howe’s latest post as one of great interest. . Kendall Wallace has penned a great column on the race that is worth a read.
