Dear XXXXXXXX,
As a friend and supporter I wanted to directly reach out to you regarding some recent developments in Worcester County politics. There is widespread speculation that Sheriff Guy Glodis will be announcing his candidacy for State Auditor, creating an open seat for Worcester County Sheriff. There has not been an open seat for Worcester County Sheriff in over 50 years. The current political landscape and dynamics of Massachusetts, coupled with my Criminal Justice background with experience as an Assistant District Attorney and Assistant State Attorney would make me a very formidable candidate for this position.
It has been and conti nues to be a tremendous honor to serve the 1st District of Worcester County in the House of Representatives. Of all the jobs that I have had in life, I have never enjoyed one anymore than being your State Representative. I never intended to be a career politician on Beacon Hill and have always believed in term limits to bring new people with new ideas into politics. When I was first elected to the House I thought it would be appropriate to serve ten years, but an opportunity like this would be difficult not to seriously consider as I feel this may be an exciting opportunity for me to take on a new challenge. The Sheriff of Worcester County represents the entire county with approximately 600,000 constituents and is a remarkable opportunity to contribute to community service and public safety.
As I would not be where I am today without your support over the past eight years, I wanted you to hear directly from me on these new developments. Thank you again for all your continued support and I will certainly keep you updated on this exciting opportunity.
I look forward to continue working with you as your Representative or in a future campaign for higher office and I hope that you and your family have a great weekend.,
Lew
