Massachusetts: Jennifer Nassour

I'll be on BNN's Talk of the Neighborhoods with Joe Heisler tonight, from 7:30-8:00.

And sometime later in the evening, I should get the results of tonight's big election. You know, the political story everyone's been buzzing about lately -- the new chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party!

People haven't been buzzing?

Jennifer Nassour of Boston is considered the favorite, but some folks have told me it's not a done deal. I would go into it more, but I find it very hard to believe that any of you actually care that much. I mean, seriously. And, I gotta get going -- don't want to be late for Joe's show!

Scott Brown, one of five Republicans in the state Senate, announced his support on Monday for Jennifer Nassour's candidacy for chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party.

"I have officially endorsed Jennifer Nassour because she has a clear vision for the future of the party," Brown, a Wrentham Republican, said. "She is a breath of fresh air and has the experience and skills necessary to usher the party back to where we should be so that we can bring reform, common sense, and balance to state...government."

Jennifer Nassour said Monday that she is committed to attending a forum for declared candidates for Massachusetts GOP chairman.

And, despite being the only declared candidate, she may have company.

Joe Manzoli told PolitickerMA.com that he is also considering attending the forum, which will be held on Dec. 18 at the public library in Dartmouth.

NEWTON -- In order for the Massachusetts GOP to overcome its current woes, the party must focus significant efforts on fundraising, Jennifer Nassour, a candidate for chairman of the Massachusetts GOP, said this week.

In an interview with PolitickerMA.com before the Republican State Committee's meeting Monday night, Nassour said fundraising will be key for the party to expand its now miniscule number of Bay State officials.
