It is with a heavy heart that I write to advise you that I have decided to suspend my campaign for Congress for 2012. I intend to continue the fight in 2014.

I do not make this decision lightly – in fact, it is the most difficult I have made in 2-1/2 years.

Running for Congress is an extremely costly venture, as you all know. A business opportunity has presented itself to me, which in addition to my active law practice will involve substantial amounts of my time and effort for the balance of the year. This will allow me to recoup what my family has invested in this race so far, and then some – allowing me to return stronger than ever in 2014.

A run for Congress involves a full-time, focused commitment. While I can continue to raise awareness of issues, and relish the opportunity to debate Richard Tisei and John Tierney vigorously, you have the right to expect that your efforts and donations will be rewarded by the very best effort I can put forth. At this moment, I cannot promise that to you. Which means that my effort would leave things incomplete – and you deserve nothing but the best.

Although my family is fully supportive of my continued run, there are needs here too as I have put my campaign first, too often at their expense. And they need to be first for awhile.

The prospect of not following through and forcing Richard Tisei to be honest with his true record and motivation for running was one of my most difficult struggles in coming to this decision. I relish the opportunity, and will in 2014, because I’m sure you all know that little will change if he is elected. Worse, I know that this leaves most of you no real choice at all in this District in 2012.

I heartily and openly endorse and ask all of you to turn all your attention for the next six weeks to help three candidates for State Committee running on March 6, 2012: Kim Incampo (North Andover), Carlos Hernandez (Saugus), and Rob Aufiero (Wakefield).
Also state reps: Dwight Caufield (Lynn area) and Karin Rhoton (North Andover area).

I also heartily endorse Scott Brown. Put aside everything – and remember that he stood up when no one else in Massachusetts had the character to do so. He was not a career politician (yet), and has the character and fortitude to stand on his values and defend the votes he takes.

Besides, Elizabeth Warren, if elected, promises only to render Massachusetts uninhabitable.

I will be calling as many of you as I can, if you don’t call me first, to thank you personally and tell you what I am doing, and why I am doing it.

I need you to know that I am humbled by the outpouring of support, offers to mobilize, donate, and do everything possible to insure that we win this race; and, we will – just two years later than anticipated.

Thank you, sincerely,
Future Congressman,
Bill Hudak

John Tierney has had a week since his wife was convicted for ‘willful blindness to tax fraud’ to come clean to the voters of the 6th District about his ongoing knowledge of these crimes, which took place in his home.

It would be a simple matter for the Congressman to disclose financial and legal records that could disprove his direct or indirect involvement in, or benefit from, his family’s criminal activities. Still the Congressman has yet to act. The voters of the 6th District have the right to wonder why.

Our campaign continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by the repeated personal attacks by our opponent and his media supporters, and it is clear that the citizens of the 6th District want a different type of elected official. They want an independent voice willing to stand up to the special interests and stand for personal responsibility, lower taxes and limited government.

Our supporters from around the Sixth District all have their own reasons for supporting my candidacy, but they all share the same goal: ending John Tierney’s tenure as a congressman.

In addition to our office in Danvers, we now have an office open in Newburyport. To make a real difference today, call 978.739.2300 and volunteer today.

At a recent training at our office in Danvers, some of my volunteers spoke out on why they are giving so generously of their time. Watch the video on the left to hear from them. I hope that you will consider making a similar commitment to our campaign.

The Scott Brown victory earlier this year and the Hudak Campaign’s continued momentum clearly show that the citizens of the 6th District want a different caliber of elected official. They want independent minded individuals who are not beholden to the Pelosi and other Washington interests. They are looking for lower taxes and a responsible government.

This is an exciting time for the citizens of the 6th District and a bad time to be John Tierney. Thirteen years in Congress have brought him farther and farther away from the interests of his constituents and the times prove that they aren’t going to stand for it any longer. November 2010 will be a time for a commonsense change.

While talking with Jon Keller, radio host and newsman Dan Rea spoke about the congressional races here in Massachusetts. He told Keller that out of all the incumbent Democrats in Massachusetts, John Tierney faces the toughest challenge in Bill Hudak. He said that if was to pick one to be knocked off, Tierney was the one. He also faulted Tierney for avoiding debates and defending his record and his wife's criminal activities.
