Mass. House challengers face cash, name hurdles

Olver is running against Republican Nathan Bech, an Iraqi war veteran from West Springfield. Frank’s opponents are Earl Sholley, a fatherhood rights activist from Norfolk, and Susan Allen, a Democrat-turned-independent and legal analyst from Brookline. Tierney is being challenged by inventor Richard Baker of West Newbury, while Markey’s opponent is John Cunningham, a computer programmer who works from his home in Revere.

"Obviously, I face a huge uphill battle, but in a sense, Markey makes it easy because he’s on the wrong side of these issues," Cunningham said.

A self-professed libertarian despite running under the Republican banner, Cunningham says he would have opposed the Iraq war, the Patriot Act and the $700 billion Wall Street bailout — all supported by his party leader, President Bush. Markey voted against the war but for the Patriot Act and the bailout.

"When I go to Washington, I’m not going there to make friends. The first thing I’ll do when a bill comes up, I’ll make sure it’s constitutional," Cunningham said.
