Dear Fellow Democrats:

I’d like to take this opportunity to applaud all of the Democratic candidates that have stepped forward to run for the 2nd Congressional District. In reviewing the candidates, I am confident that each one has the talent, integrity and commitment to serve our district well. Each candidate is uniquely capable of restoring honor and civility to political discourse and helping turn around the direction of our great country.

After thoughtful consideration of who I believe is best suited to win the November election, I have been torn between Amy Kennedy and Brigid Harrison. Like most from my generation, the Kennedy legacy is unparallel in inspiring social and political activism and defining public service. While Amy is acknowledged in her own right and carries on this proud heritage, I think she is outmatched by Brigid Harrison’s more extensive experience.

This is a historical Presidential election that will shape the compassion of public policy for decades, so we need to do our part by taking back the congressional seat that the 2nd District Democratic Party rightfully won. I believe Brigid’s sharp understanding of government coupled with her passionate style of communicating, makes her the best candidate to defeat our opponent and his “undying support” for the Trump agenda.

Again, I’d like to express my gratitude to each of the candidates for their courage in this endeavor. While I am endorsing Brigid Harrison, it is more important that all of us clearly recognize that it will take a solidly unified Democratic Party to defeat our fierce opposition in November. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Pete Byron
