Scientist runs for Congress

Hello Friends,

My name is Mike Stopa and I am running for Congress in the Massachusetts 5th District in the race for the seat vacated by Ed Markey. The primary election is October 15 and the general election is December 10.

I am not a lawyer or a career politician, I am a nanophysicist at Harvard University. What is a scientist doing running for Congress? Well, I am trying to bring free market ideas and clear, logical thinking to Washington. Massachusetts is built on smart ideas in the laboratory being moved to development by private investment and resulting in products that people want to buy. We are not a state that depends on the government putting a shovel in everyone’s hand…at least not yet! We need to roll back government and return both money and choice to individuals.
