Dear Neighbor,

Our state government needs bold ideas and real results. If elected as your State Representative, I'll hold the line on wasteful spending and fight to reduce taxes. While I push state government to tighten its belt, I'll make sure our communities get the resources they need for education and public safety. 

I have a passion for improving government. In fact, much of my career has been devoted to making government work better, something Massachusetts desperately needs right now. I have co-authored two books on public sector reform, run three separate state agencies, and have served three years on the Needham School Committee. My writings on government have appeared in the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

I've even testified before Congress on improving government. 

If you send me to Beacon Hill, I'll have real solutions for the challenges that confront our communities. 

Our state is in trouble, and more taxes will only hurt the economy. Will you join with me to make a positive difference? Please consider contributing and/or volunteering today.

I respectfully ask for your vote on September 14 and November 2, 2010.

John O'Leary
