STATEMENT FROM STATE SENATOR BEN DOWNING ON POSSIBLE SENATE RUN

“I want to congratulate Senator Kerry on his nomination for Secretary of State.  He has been a tremendous Senator for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States, and I know he will represent our nation with honor and courage in the face of difficult international challenges.

We are on the verge of a new era of American opportunity, and voters want new voices and new ideas.   While there will be no vacancy until Senator Kerry is confirmed, in the next few weeks I will be meeting with people throughout the Commonwealth as I consider a run for senate. In the meantime, I hope that all residents of Massachusetts have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and take a break from politics over the next week to enjoy some time with their families.”
