Massachusetts 2013 WE LIST EVERYONE
DID WE GET A RATING WRONG? Your candidate may be pro-life or pro-abortion. That is his/her option. This site is designed to reflect votes and positions so that YOU know what your candidate's CORE position is on various issues. In the future, our database of each candidate's rating will contain links detailing the candidate's database of votes which earned each particular rating (except congressional, as their ratings are easily tracked at projectvotesmart). |

CONCERN NOTED that Mr. Cappucci has NOT regularly attended local RTC meetings since being elected, apparently due to a change in job position. Also concerns noted regarding potential over-zealous positions. We have faith in the guy that he will do well, when focused on the task at hand, as he is quite bright and a hard worker. We look forward to seeing a positive change.
