Representative Steven Howitt remains committed to working for the 4th Bristol District in the House of Representatives

Statement from State Representative Steven Howitt (R – Seekonk):

“I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support for my candidacy for State Senator. Friend and colleague Senator Jim Timilty has a long record of distinguished service. I wish him every success in his next endeavor as Treasurer of Norfolk County, MA.

I reviewed all the work we have accomplished since I was elected to office and took a long look ahead at all there is still to do. With these reflections, I know that I am right where I want to be, in the great and General Court, working for the people of the 4th Bristol District. Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than serving these good citizens of Norton, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Swansea. I feel as if I have become part of the very fabric of these Towns. I plan to continue to keep working on the tasks at hand, returning money to the District, creating jobs and bolstering our economy, encouraging new businesses, improving public safety, and working with Governor Charlie Baker to help make a difference to our communities.”

“I thank all those who have offered encouragement to me to run for the Senate seat, yet I will not be a contender for the State Senate position at this time. I remain committed to working my hardest for the people of the 4th Bristol District through my elected position as State Representative, and thank you all for your continued support.”
