BOSTON – Wednesday, September 24th

After the recount, the voters of the Democratic Party in the Second Suffolk District will have spoken and ONE candidate will have earned the endorsement of the Democratic Party in that district. The winner who is certified after the recount will be the endorsed candidate of the Democratic Party. That nominee – and that nominee alone – will have earned and will receive the full benefit that comes with that nomination. There is only ONE candidate who has earned and will share the Democratic ticket with Barack Obama, Joe Biden and John Kerry.”
