Chris Gabrieli on Principles & Values

Candidacy based on getting results, not partisanship

Q: What makes you more electable in November than your two opponents?

GABRIELI: I think that my candidacy was premised on the fact that it's not really fundamentally about Democrat or Republican, it's about getting results. I have a record of getting results throughout my career. I have put forward detailed specific plans of how I'll get results.

How I will cut taxes, but do it smartly by taking it out of income growth.
How I will drive the economy by taking advantage of expansion in the innovation economy and investing in those areas that drive new technologies and new fields.
How to bring down the cost of housing in Massachusetts so that seniors aren't pushed out of their homes by making our circuit breaker work better to let them stay in their homes.

A bunch of specific ideas, but what it boils down to is results. It doesn't matter if you're a democratic idea or republican idea, you've got to get the results. Source: MA gubernatorial debate on CBS4 news, moderator: Jon Keller Sep 13, 2006
