Fresh out of his campaign for U.S. Senate, this is U.S. Representative Stephen Lynch of South Boston. He represents a shrinking wing of Massachusetts state politics, the socially conservative fiscal-liberal labor voters. He may not have accomplished much as a Congressman, but his career story is a bit more interesting than the mainstream progressive Democrats he serves with. I don't know what's next for this guy but his biography should be of interest to anyone with a passing interest in American politics, so I hope we can make this a featured article. —Designate (talk) 02:26, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment -- Wow, this one never really got off the ground did it? With only the source review after six weeks there's not much to do except archive -- a peer review might aid in generating some more interest, after which you could re-nominate here.
