Patrick Roath, a 38-year-old attorney and former aide to ex-Gov. Deval Patrick, is running against long-time Congressman Stephen Lynch in Massachusetts' 8th District. Announcing his campaign via social media, Roath emphasized the need for fresh perspectives and effective results, criticizing the current political landscape. He plans to reject corporate PAC donations and consider term limits. Roath's early fundraising success demonstrates significant grassroots support, and he aims to revive the inclusive vision he associates with Patrick's leadership during their time together.
"People are upset with how things are and are worried that we have people that are not getting the job done in DC and that have been there for a long time in office."
"Our political system has failed us in actually delivering results, and I think that part of that is the system of politics we have."
