From: Don Warner Saklad

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

Any page of any document with an address for email for each of the Candidates for Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Don Warner Saklad

Good Afternoon Mr. Saklad,

This Office has received your request for documents that contain the email addresses for the candidates for the Office of Secretary of the Commonwealth. A search was performed of the records of the Elections Division, including the records voluntarily completed by individuals picking up nomination papers as well as copies of receipts provided to candidates who have filed nomination papers.

Attached, please find a letter to this Office containing the email address for Mr. David D'Arcangelo, candidate for the Office of Secretary of the Commonwealth. Candidates are not required to provide email addresses to this Office, as a result there are no records containing the email addresses of the other candidates for the Office of Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Please note, any fees associated with the provision of this record have been waived.

Sincerely,

Rebecca S. Murray

What document would have the direct address for email of Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin himself? Among all the records of the Office there's got to be a document, for example perhaps from any Conference where the Secretary participated listing his own email in documentation for the Conference with other peer participants.

From: Murray, Rebecca (SEC)

Hello Mr. Saklad,

The Elections Division does not possess any documents which have the direct address for email of Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin himself. Consequently, no records responsive to your request exist.
