You wrote two different dates. The election is feb 4. Kind of important for people to know.
Thank you for catching this! FEBRUARY 4TH!
That\'s what I get for not having someone proofread for me. I appreciate the important correction.
So you can’t figure out how the party primary system works and then you can’t get the election date right when asking for support? Doesn’t seem like you have even a basic handle on details; why would you be a good voice for the people of Melrose at the State level????
I accidentally typed 3 instead of 4, inadvertently mixing up the dates of the primary in February and general in March one time while typing. I appreciate that the error was pointed out. Keep in mind, I'm doing all the groundwork of this campaign myself, and don't have the staff of other candidates. If that indicates to you that I don't understand how the party primary system works, I'm not sure I can change your mind. I detailed some specific things I'd like to do that would benefit the people of this district, and would like to hear from residents, including you.
What makes me think that I'm the best candidate? Well, I'm a leader and I'll get things done. I'm most definitely not your cookie cutter politician. If you want someone who is going to give you canned statements that echo every party politician from the past, then I'm not your guy. I'm on here and elsewhere interacting with people because I'd like to hear from as many folks as possible. I want to best represent you and hear what is most important to you.
While I respect the Democrats running for this seat, from the many conversations I've had, I know there are a lot of people in this district who are tired of wasteful spending by Democrats, and want to see their hard earned dollars going towards the things that matter most to them. This state has been fiscally irresponsible under largely Democratic leadership and if I'm voted in, there will be a lot more accountability.
To those reading, someone is coming on here reposting things under my name. I've only ever posed on this thread. If my name pops up elsewhere else on this board, it's not me. Sad this person doesn't have anything better to do. Happy Thursday.
You appear to have court, arrest and/or criminal records. Don't have time to research right now but that hasn't stopped anyone from winning around here in awhile.
I think those free search sites say everyone has a criminal record so that you pay to buy the report. But, Brandon Reid should respond in full...he seems to be pretty active on this site. Truth and transparency!

@ Brandon Reid
I've never been arrested and do not have a criminal record. I work at a school and I'm a volunteer boxing coach. I get background checked once a year for each.
I am here to represent everyone in this district, not just those who currently support me. Politics can be ugly as we all know, but at the end of the day, I don't take any negativity or attacks personally. If I win this thing, I'll win over more of the public when they see results.
In my experience, when the site mylife.com says you have Court, Arrest & Criminal Records; Lawsuits, Liens and Bankrupcies, you do have them. For the people I know anyway. It doesn't say it for everyone. It's can be minor civil records and a bankruptcy but something is there on the record regardless.
AS I noted, this does not prevent someone from winning an election around here.
You've got to be kidding me! MyLife.com is nothing more than a data mining company, and is notorious for publishing false information. They do this so that when someone calls to complain, they have an opportunity to browbeat you into getting a "3 day trial membership" which they say is necessary to make corrections to your "record". At that time a $75 charge gets posted to your CC. If you're stupid enough to do that, when you go to their site to cancel, they tell you there is a $14 cancellation fee, and then you have to fight with them for months to get your $75 back.
I looked at my "record", and the first thing it says is that I'm the Director of a Regional Vocational School. So how come I'm not getting a paycheck from there? Maybe because not only have I never been in the building, I'd need to use GoogleMaps to even find the place.
Anybody who sunscribes to MyLife.com, and/or is dumb enough to actually believe that their information is accurate is probably beyond help.
Just a reminder to all that the primary election is coming up on Tuesday, Feb. 4th! I ask for you to please get out to the polls and cast your vote, by writing in: "BRANDON REID 71 Grove St., Melrose"
Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments you may have at Reidforstaterep@gmail.com
Thank you!

And please remember to ask for the REPUBLICAN BALLOT at the polls on Feb 4th. It is important that the write-in is on this ballot in order for your vote to count. Also, for my name to appear on the general election ballot on March 3rd, I need at least 150 write-in votes on the Republican ballot in this Feb. 4th primary.
Let's not let the winner of the Democratic primary go unopposed in March. Please be one of the 150 voters to help me get on the general election ballot.
No offense intended Brandon, you seem like a very nice person, and I wish you the best of luck in your effort, but I have to say that "fate" picked a brutal time for you to be trying to lure any Independents or Democrats into even considering taking a Republican ballot. I'm sure that you watch television also!

No offense taken, and thank you. I'm not trying to lure anyone, I just believe I am the best candidate for the position. I'm encouraging Unenrolled and Republican voters to get out and vote. If I do not get the 150 write-in votes on the otherwise blank Republican ballot, the Democratic nominee will go unopposed in March, and will be your next state representative.
Keep in mind that I'm not a career politician, nor have I taken a dime from anyone for this campaign. My priority is serving the people of this district and state, regardless of party. The Democrats that I'm up against will go along with whatever the agenda of other Democrats on Beacon Hill. In fact, they have each already pledged not to run against in November, should one of them win in March. If they each feel they are the best candidate, then why not run again in November? Because they all have the exact same ideologies and will never go against their party, regardless of the best interest of the people.
And Willie -I hope I can count on your vote, my friend! :)
I’m a registered Democrat, but will be taking my ballot, skipping past all of the regular candidates (Kate, boo) and writing in “Brandon Reid, 71 Grove Street”!!!! I’m a convert!

I was a democrat until they went Commie (should have changed the name of the board of alderman from councilor to COMRAD)! I am unenrolled voter and will write in Brandon Reid for state rep. I am also a Christian, PROLIFE, anti gay marriage, staunch supporter of Israel, pro law enforcement (need tougher juvenile laws that emphasize consequences for ones actions), legal immigration only, and an end to progressive liberalism.

Wow, you sound like you’d be a great time at a party. Seems like you may have some “control issues.” Lighten up bro, stop worrying about what others are doing and focus on YOU!

Mr. Reid, what’s your opinion of a country that has sunk SO low, that it would be debating whether a fair trial should have evidence and witnesses? (Yes, us!)

Well, my opinion of this country differs from my opinion of the handling of an ongoing impeachment trial, if that is what you're asking. Elected officials will come and go. Some will be competent, others will not; but make no mistake, America remains great through it all.
I see.
As a potential career politician, would you ever agree to a political debate format where the ONLY answer to a question could be "yes" or "no", nothing else added? That has always been a 'dream debate format' for me! :)

That wouldn't be much of a debate. More like a survey. But I'd do that, sure.
Sorry Brandon, I was almost convinced, but someone (even those only connected 'by association') has to "pay" for what has just happened, and unfortunately that someone starts with you.

I have no association with anyone involved in the impeachment hearings, so I'm not sure how keeping me off a ballot will make anyone feel better. But if you do want to make me "pay", help me get past Tuesday and make me pay in the general election. If don't get the 150 write in votes on Tuesday, the only people who will pay are those who want a choice in the general election. I encourage people to vote for me on Tuesday, even if they don't plan to in the general election.
She will run in the general election if she gets 150 write in ballots! She KNOWS how to get it done. Write in “MONICA MEDEIROS, 3 BAY STATE ROAD, APT A, MELROSE, MA”.
Don’t put your faith in someone untested in Melrose...vote with your head AND your heart for Monica. She can win!!!

As I mentioned on the other thread you started, Monica has offered support to my campaign from day one and has been very helpful in my effort to get enough votes to win the nomination. She is not seeking this seat, so putting her name out there for. It only makes you look foolish. Trying to derail my write-in campaign is petty, given that I'm already at a huge disadvantage and simply trying to give people an option in the general.
I’ll still never even consider voting for a Republican again in my lifetime, but have to say that was a good effort Brandon, and I’m glad you made it onto the final ballot!
Thank you Willie, and many thanks to everyone on here who did make it out to the polls (even those who didn't vote for me)! Every vote counted in this primary, and now voters will have a choice on March 3rd!
