DiDomenico Senate Campaign Hosts Organizational Meeting
Everett Advocate 1/29/2010
By Keith Spencer
Councilor Sal DiDomenico addresses the volunteers and supporters who gathered at a recent organizational meeting for his recently announced State Senate campaign.
Last week, Councilor Sal DiDomenico announced his intentions to run for the state senate seat recently vacated by Anthony Galluccio. The popular ward-three representative is gearing up for the major effort, opening his campaign headquarters as well as hosting an organizational meeting with 100 volunteers earlier this week.
“We’ve come a long way from the ward three common council, haven’t we?” DiDomenico opened the meeting. “We have a strong base here in Everett, but we are going to do well across the entire district.”
“We are not going to concede any city or town to other candidates in this race, and we will run a hard race in each of these areas with your help.”
The meeting, held at the Silver Fox II, featured a flurry of Everett political leaders as well as dozens of residents ready to campaign for the well-liked councilor. Representatives from across the district came out to support DiDomenico, and offer their assistance in the campaign.
The meeting was attended by a majority of Everett’s elected officials, including Mayor Carlo DeMaria, Jr. and State Representatie Stephen “Stat” Smith, who both offered DiDomenico words of encouragement.
“People need to volunteer, and give as much time to this campaign as possible,” Mayor Carlo DeMaria urged those gathered. “Everett needs a state senator that lives in Everett.”
“Sal has always been a tremendous asset at the State House, assisting my staff and working hard for Everett,” Representative Smith added. “We have all the people in place to put Sal on top, and he obviously has great organization judging from tonight’s turnout.”
“When people are asking who Sal DiDomenico is, I am telling them that he is the winner in this race and a great friend to Everett.”
During the event, DiDomenico introduced campaign staff, including Chris Keohan who will serve as campaign manager. Keohan outlined the camp’s planned efforts to bring about victory come the April 13th primary and May general election.
“This campaign isn’t about flying out to Beverly Hills or using a popular last name,” Keohan stated. “This race is going to be about campaigning at the ground level, and we’re going to do it with your help.”
Campaign Manager Chris Koehan discusses the efforts underway to elect Councilor Sal DiDomenico who looks on with his wife, Tricia.
Staff members distributed campaign materials, including nomination sheets, bumper stickers and volunteer forms. With more than 2,000 phone calls already made to leaders and political activists in the area, the popular candidate is still earning commitments.
Keohan also announced the location of their Everett campaign headquarters in the Sachetta Building at 433 Broadway. The campaign has already organized a Facebook networking page, gathering 500 members in the first week alone. Their website, You must be logged in to see this link. will launch next week.
DiDomenico’s popularity in Everett and close-connections with politicians and influential leaders around the Commonwealth are sure to be an asset to his campaign. DiDomenico has already earned the endorsement of several state representatives as well as a flurry of local political leaders in the district.
Despite these endorsements, many of which will be officially announced in the coming weeks, the campaign is looking for as much help as possible. With election day less than three months away, several other candidates have already thrown their hats in the ring. The race will certainly be about money and the ability to raise a lot of it.
While it is uncertain how the other candidates will affect the race, it is clear from Tuesday’s meeting that DiDomenico is off to a great start, and will continue to be a frontrunner in the costly race.
More than 100 supporters and volunteers attended the organization meeting.

Do you mean the anti DeMaria people won't vote for Sal? I think that would have more of an impact at the city level than the state level. No candidate is going to turn people away from supporting them. Sal lives in Everett, so I think there are going to be many people supporting him no matter who they might have supported in the past.
A candidate does not pick their supporters. The supporters pick their candidate.
Anyone that has ever been involved in a political campaign knows, you don't turn anyone away.

From today's Globe:
Decker withdraws from state Senate race
Marjorie Decker, a longtime city councilor who had set her sights on the state Senate seat vacated by Anthony Galluccio, has withdrawn from the race. Decker said the field of prospects for the Middlesex-Suffolk-Essex district is too crowded, diminishing her chance of victory. Decker, who had rallied and won a historic write-in campaign to retain her council seat, said she could not ask supporters to help carry her through this time. Galluccio is serving a year in jail after violating probation after pleading guilty to fleeing the scene of an October 2009 accident. So far, 10 people are vying to replace him in a special election May 11, including E. Denise Simmons, a former mayor; Sal DiDomenico, former chief of staff to Galluccio; and Timothy Flaherty, former Norfolk district attorney. |

Have to say I was shocked Tuesday night when I went to the debate in Chelsea. DeDominico got creamed. Albano was attacking and so was the candidate from Cambridge. They were saying how inept he is and that he should have answers instead of alot of 'canned' answers.
I have to agree. He's lost my vote. Geeessh, between being a City Councilor and workign in the Senate, he should know how to speak and know "something" about the issues.
I like Tim Flaherty. Polished and very well spoken. He had vision.
Sal's way out of his league boy |

| Just my opinion, but I am Supporting Sal for State Senate. I believe he is the best choice for Everett. He knows the statehouse and has many contacts there. I hope he does well in Everett and across the district. I think he has the potential to be an outstanding asset for the City of Everett. |
