Election Day Pictures and Results

John Cunningham and the campaign put in a lot of great effort but came up short for a win in the election. John has made the call to congratulate Ed Markey on his win. At this point, Markey has around 75% of the vote and Cunningham has around 25%. This is somewhat similar to past challenges to Ed Markey.

We would like to give some heart felt thanks to everyone that volunteered, donated, or supported the campaign in any way. We had a wonderful time and made some great friends.

We knew all the long that it would be an extremely uphill battle to unseat a 32 year incumbent Democrat in Massachusetts, but we still wanted to try. We are happy to have had the opportunity to get out the freedom message to so many people throughout district. And this is only the beginning. It has given us experience and has helped us be more prepared for future opportunities.

Below are some final pictures from the campaign showing John holding signs at the polls:



Cunningham vs. Markey Debate

Thu, 10/30/2008 - 22:00 — Matt Robinson

Here is the video of the debate between John Cunningham and Congressman Ed Markey. We think John holds his own well against the long time congressman.
As a side note the moderator does make a mistake in the beginning about John's presidential vote, and John corrects it later on.
