But I promise to work tirelessly to help everyone in the commonwealth to succeed.” 「这件事很单纯，因为活跃的创投产业可以创造工作机会 。」他说：「没有投资者，也 没有参议员是完美的。但是我保证会帮助这块土地上的所有人都成功，绝不松懈。」 And while he has supported Republican candidates in the past, including Romney in his 1994 campaign against Kennedy, Pagliuca said he is a lifelong Democrat. 在过去，他支持共和党的候选人，包括在1994年竞选活动中，Romney对抗Kennedy这件事， Pagliuca说他彻头彻尾都是一个民主党人。 “You have to treat your friends (well) and be loyal to your friends. But my record will show that there’s ten times the amount that’s been given to Democrats, and I have Democratic values and I did something for a friend,” he said. 他说:"你必须要对朋友和善跟忠贞，我给予民主党的政治捐献是共和党的十倍。而我对民 主党具有价值而且就如同好友一般具有忠诚。" Coakley was the first Democrat to declare her candidacy, Capuano plans to formally launch his campaign Friday afternoon during an appearance at the Omni Parker House.
