A Message from Martha

Dear Friends,

Good news – we have officially secured the 10,000 nominating signatures necessary to place my name on the Fall ballot as a candidate for re-election as Attorney General. With your help, we accomplished this goal well ahead of the May 4th deadline.

Hundreds of you helped us meet this goal and attended events or collected signatures from your friends and neighbors. I am so grateful to our volunteer team and to the thousands of people who signed nomination papers.

I also have enjoyed the opportunities I've had throughout the signature drive to meet with volunteers and with voters, and to listen to their ideas and concerns.

Every day as your Attorney General, I work to stand up for consumers, taxpayers, and victims.

I am running for re-election to continue these fundamental and important fights – keeping people safe in our communities, protecting our children and seniors, recovering money on behalf of taxpayers, and fighting for the families hit hardest during this difficult economy.

Because of your loyalty and support, we are in a strong position for re-election. I am truly grateful for all you have done to help us meet this important early goal.

Thank you,

Martha Coakley

P.S. - I was interviewed by NECN's Alison King yesterday out at a seniors conference. We had a chance to talk about the campaign ahead. Please take a look by clicking here:

Weekend Wrap-Up

This past Friday, Attorney General Martha Coakley participated in another Banned in Boston, playing the role of Ellen DeGeneres in the annual fundraiser for  Urban Improv's nationally recognized violence prevention programs for Boston-area youth.  

 Saturday brought a stop to the Haverhill Democratic City Committee Annual Brunch, where Martha and many other Democratic candidates addressed the crowd and met with activists in Haverhill. Governor Patrick attended the breakfast as he kicked off his campaign with a tour across the Commonwealth. 

The weekend concluded with a trip to Hudson for the Middlesex & Worcester Democratic Coalition annual breakfast, where Martha spoke with Democratic activists from 14 cities and towns from the area. Martha also extended special congratulations to photographer and friend Jeff Mayes, a recipient of the "Democracy in Action Award," for his outstanding commitment to the work of local Democratic Committees.
