Nickel and Dimed: Concannon jumps in against Buonomo
A bit late, but better than never. WickedLocal reported Friday:
With a supportive push from eager voters, Thomas B. Concannon Jr. announced his plans to run against embattled incumbent John Buonomo for Middlesex County register of probate - a race that the former Newton mayor hopes to win this time around.Back in 2000, Concannon lost Democratic nomination to Buonomo after a recount. But with Buonomo facing more than 30 criminal offenses based on allegations he stole thousands of dollars from copy and change machines from the Registry of Deeds earlier this month, potential challengers are eyeing his elected post.
Concannon, who will run as a Democrat, said he has a short campaign window to work in - the state primary being Sept. 16 - but is seeking a nomination for November’s statewide election.
If Buonomo tries to pay his campaign vendors in nickels and dimes, look for Concannon to file a protest.
Sadly, I couldn’t find any contact information for the Buonomo campaign online. If anyone knows how to reach them, please drop the details in the comments.
