May 14, 2005
Tsongas Arena Lowell, Massachusetts
Thank you for that warm welcome. Thank you...
Thank you, Phil, for that generous introduction. And thank you fellow delegates for your warm welcome.
As Phil told you, I have been blessed with many opportunities: to serve my community as a lawyer and a volunteer; my country as a senior government official; and the customers and employees of two big companies as an executive.
In so many ways, I have lived the American Dream- because I got a better chance in Massachusetts. And I was taught that success is not what you get, it's what you give. So, I am running for governor because I want a better chance for you and everyone else in the Commonwealth. [More]
