Maj. Leader James Vallee

With the nation in a deep recession and the Commonwealth facing a dire budget crisis, we urgently need Steve Grossman as our Treasurer.

What People Are Saying

President Bill Clinton

Steve Grossman is my friend. He did a brilliant job as head of the Democratic Party under difficult circumstances…(his business) represents the kind of America I tried to create where we are competitive, and we believe in the market economy, but we also recognize our responsibility to each other.

Danielle Thompson

Steve is the kind of mentor every young professional dreams of having... He gets things done, accomplishes his initiatives with the utmost integrity and is never too busy to talk to someone in need.

Steve’s belief that one person can make a difference, and his support of those who try to do just that, is a beacon for all of us... I know that Steve’s support helped lead me to where I am today.

Dee Dee Edmondson

Steve is a leader because he fosters advancement and leadership in others. I owe my success to Steve's guidance and friendship.

I've had the pleasure of working with Steve a few times over the years and have always, always thought so highly of him. His motto of striving to have a good balance between a healthy family, a good business, and giving back to the community has always stuck with me. Trustworthy, Honest, Ethical - those are the words I associate with him. Especially during these tough economic times, what more could one want in a Treasurer?

Angus McQuilken

In 1991, fresh out of college, I approached Steve Grossman about the need for more young people in the Democratic Party leadership. He challenged me to organize that effort, and several meetings later, the Massachusetts Coalition for a Democratic Future was born. With Steve's support as Party Chairman, we built a thriving organization of young Democratic activists that remains strong today...

Nanette Fridman

I first met Steve almost 20 years ago when I was in college. His civic involvement and commitment to mentoring inspired me to get more involved in communal affairs. He is a focused leader who knows how to achieve results while also being a successful business person and devoted family man. I am delighted to wholeheartedly support Steve Grossman for Treasurer.

My career in the investment community has provided me a unique understanding of many aspects of the current financial crisis. [Steve] has a keen understanding of the issues and feels a genuine responsibility to improve the lives of his fellow citizens. I’m confident that his diligence, wisdom, and tenacity will greatly benefit this state.

In 1997, Steve took a major risk in selecting me to serve as the youngest political director in party history...with our "right voters, right places" strategy and an untested and unorthodox team of organizers and new technologies, we made history despite the challenges...

Katy O'Connor Ives

Massachusetts needs a person like Steve Grossman in the Treasurer's office. Steve has that rare combination of technical skills and talent to get the job done, as well as the heart and boundless energy to stay connected to the people of Massachusetts and the challenges we face.

Andrew Tobias, Author

Steve is rock solid -- and has a heart of gold. This was true 50 years ago on the tennis court of our summer camp; it has been true throughout his business career; and it was true in his leadership of the Democratic National Committee.

Duane C. Ingram

I’ve had the privilege of working with several extraordinary leaders throughout my career, and I continue to view Steve as the gold standard of leadership. He is an exceptional person, visionary public servant and innovative businessman who will work tirelessly to improve upon the quality of life for Massachusetts and its citizens.

Steve Grossman has been a committed member of the MA business community for many decades and he continues to serve in many capacities. He cares about MA and he will put us on the road to financial stability and I am proud to stand with him in this very important race for the future of MA!

As a veteran of over 150 campaigns, I have met many qualified candidates for office. Steve Grossman is one of the best. His business acumen, his no-nonsense style of leadership, and his genuine desire to keep in touch with everyone, make him the person I want handling our Commonwealth's money.

Dr. Joshua Eagle

I met Steve when he was an honorary degree recipient from my graduate school and I was the student speaker. I was very proud to have such a distinguished leader share the podium with me that day. Good luck, Steve!

Mitch Blaustein

As an active member of my community, I have seen Steve and heard his views on our state economy for over 20 years. He doesn't just say the obvious, as everyone else does, but he says what we have to do to help get us out of economic problems when it comes to funding for our cities and towns.
