The New MA 9th Congressional District
District Attorney Sam Sutter Statement
on the Race for the New 9th
Congressional District
Today, I am announcing the formation of an exploratory committee so that I can begin to run for the Democratic nomination in the new 9th Congressional District of Massachusetts. The exploratory committee is the first step toward a formal public announcement which will take place next month.
I have decided to run because I believe, like so many Americans, that dramatic change is needed both in the approach and in the atmosphere presently existing in Congress. The gridlock, which we all watched with dismay this summer when Congress confronted the national debt ceiling and again this fall when the “Super Committee” could not reach an agreement, is precluding our ability to address and solve the most pressing issues before us: the economy, job creation, the national debt, the health care crisis, our dependence on foreign oil and other critical problems. Based upon my record as Bristol County District Attorney, I am positive I can be a strong voice and catalyst for the change that is needed.
The newly created 9th Congressional District has the potential to have a genuine regional identity. From the coastal communities of Cape Cod, to those of the South Shore and the adjacent towns along the interior, to the communities of Bristol County, there is a congruity of issues and concerns which unite us. I have lived and worked in this region since 1977, the year after I graduated from college. I lived on Cape Cod before moving to Bristol County and I have worked as a practicing attorney in the courthouses from Orleans to Barnstable to Falmouth to Plymouth and Wareham. And, I have worked as both an assistant district attorney and district attorney in New Bedford and Fall River. It would be a profound privilege to be the first person to represent this new regional district in the House of Representatives in Washington. I look forward to a vibrant campaign about vitally important issues.
