Patti Devine Holyoke City Councilor at Large

As a City Councilor in Holyoke, I am well aware of the importance of local aid to cities and towns. I believe that as Treasurer, Steve Grossman will continue to provide that necessary aid to our cities and towns.

Stephen Linsky Alderman, City of Newton

Steve commands tremendous respect in many circles. Those who have worked with him know he is a 'can-do' type. So when he sets out an agenda, as he has in promoting economic literacy, he means to get it done. He typically moves in only one direction, and that's straight ahead!

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.

Katie Liberman

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.

Asad Butt

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.

Adam Zirkin

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.

Jill Alper

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.

Joe Lazzerini Young Democrats of MA, Secretary

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!

Steve Fradkin

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.

Charles Collier

Steve Grossman is the type of leader we need during this time of economic turmoil in our Commonwealth. His strong business background and grassroots style would be a welcome relief to the politics of the past.

D. David Lee

...I firmly believe that Mr. Grossman will bring not only his small business experience and acumen to the Treasurer's office, but the highest level of integrity and energy...

Tyler O'Day

His ideas are a beacon for the Treasurer's office. When I am able to vote I will proudly be voting for Steve Grossman, not this year, but in 2014 after four strong years as Treasurer.

John McArthur

Steve Grossman has the business acumen to analyze and understand the Commonwealth's financial challenges and has both the desire and the ability to work collaboratively with the executive branch and the legislature to develop long-term solutions, and will deliver a new level of transparency and accountability to the office.

Charles Liftman

Steve Grossman has many solid qualifications, but I will support him primarily because of his good name, and his reputation for honesty and integrity.

Clint Allen

I've known Steve since high school. He was a good friend & a terrific guy. He was extremely bright & was always generous & willing to help a friend. Later, I watched him work with his father, Edgar, building a family business. Once again, he was honest & generous & gave his time & resources generously to the community. A wonderful father & loving husband, Steve is a great role model, a gentleman, & remains a very close friend 47 years later.

Mary Cole

Steve Grossman is the energetic, smart businessman we need as our state Treasurer. Massachusetts has fossilized thinking and little transparency in the financial area. Rather than just another politician, we need someone who has had responsibility for revenues and expenses, for employees and taxes. Steve can help on the state level and boost our cities and towns.

Frank Arren

What first impressed me at the Massachusetts Envelope Company was the tremendous pride the folks had in the company and particularly the adoration they had for Steve as their leader. Massachusetts would be fortunate to have Steve's personality, business acumen and energy in the office of the Treasurer.

Michael Pappone

The Treasurer's office needs someone like Steve who understands how the economy works for businesses and citizens. He'll apply proven business techniques to getting the voters the most for their tax dollar.

Danielle Thompson

Steve Grossman once told me that "one of the nice things about getting older is that you can be a mentor to promising young people and help them get their start in life."

Steve is the kind of mentor every young professional dreams of having. One of the things that continues to impress me about Steve is the way he follows up with people and always keeps his promises. When he talks to you, he makes you feel valued and important. He gets things done, accomplishes his initiatives with the utmost integrity and is never too busy to talk to someone in need.

I met Steve through a family friend after spending a year in Washington, DC where I had tried to launch my political career on Capitol Hill. I was frustrated and began to feel disillusioned about politics in general.

Meeting Steve Grossman is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Steve was there for me during a period of my life when I had lost confidence in myself and didn't know where to turn. He believed in me and empowered me to realize my own potential both personally and professionally. He offered to help me with my job search. I looked at all the pictures on the walls of him with the Clintons and the Kennedys and wondered "What could a former Chairman of the DNC possibly want to do with me? I don't have anything to offer him." Clearly, Steve proved me wrong. I soon realized that he was nothing like the politicians I had met in Washington. Steve wasn't helping me to get anything in return. He was doing so because he wanted to use the fruits of his success to help a young person get ahead. Thanks to Steve Grossman, I am now a successful professional living my dream of working in public service. I owe it all to him.

Steve Grossman has touched my life in a very real way and I know without a doubt that he will be an equally effective advocate for the people of Massachusetts. Because of him, I now know that there ARE people of his stature who are in politics for the right reasons, who genuinely want to help others and make a difference.
