CAPE COD POLITICS: Historically, the lackluster ‘status quo’ has been just good enough to get by…
Please don’t forget to vote today!
Although Hyannis News hasn’t officially endorsed any one candidate or political party, we do believe it’s time to take back our streets for our families and children.
Hyannis News sees and covers crime 24/7, and we see the drug epidemic only getting worse. We’ve seen too many people die and that needs to change. And we believe there is hope if the community decides to take action now.
We ask you to consider voting for the candidates you believe represent realistic change… people with passion… people with “skin in the game.”
We now have seen Hyannis at its worst; we fondly remember it at its best; an informed community is empowered to decide which direction it wants to take from this point forward… so please vote!
The time is now to make changes.
That’s why we urge everyone to flex their rights by voting today…
… and remember, it’s “Your Life, Your Liberty, Your Pursuit of Happiness.”
In other words, don’t just sit there and let everyone else decide your fate.
Vote!
NOTE: HN considers the Cape Cod & Islands District Attorney race especially crucial at this time in our history.
Here are links to the DA race campaign web pages so you may better determine which candidate has the motivation and vision to improve our neighborhoods for our young families and their children.
Cape & Islands District Attorney race. [Click on the candidate’s name to visit their page.]
MICHAEL D. O’KEEFE, Sandwich, REPUBLICAN. Michael O’Keefe is our current District Attorney and has served in the elected office for the past 11 years, from 2003 to the present.
RICHARD G. BARRY, Barnstable, DEMOCRATIC. Rick Barry is the challenger.
Hyannis News wishes both candidates the best of luck… and we look forward to the winner using the Office of the District Attorney to affect change in the courts by doing what it takes to successfully prosecuting suspects who commit violent crimes and sell dangerous drugs.
