Elect Stephen "Steve" Medeiros

09/03/2026

Every voter across Dartmouth and New Bedford deserves absolute confidence in our election results. 🎥👇

Please share this out!!

Yesterday, an email was circulated by my opponent claiming victory, alleging that 51 ballots were left 'uncounted,' and suggesting that someone is trying to 'take the election away.'

Let’s set the record straight: nobody is taking an election from anybody.

Earlier this afternoon, I spoke directly with the Town Clerk’s office. The claim that 51 ballots were left uncounted is simply false. Those hand-tallies from election night will be added to the unofficial count. This entire district-wide race will come down to just over 10 votes.

When an election comes down to just over 10 votes, the outcome may change or it may not. But that is why Massachusetts law provides a recount process. Moving forward with a full, district-wide hand recount is the responsible way to guarantee that every legal vote was accurately recorded and that voters have total certainty in the final outcome.

Rushing to declare victory, spreading misinformation about uncounted ballots, and attacking the integrity of our local election staff is wrong—especially coming from a Democratic candidate.

We welcome complete transparency. If every legal ballot is hand-counted and my opponent is ahead, he will have my respect as our nominee. And if we pull ahead, I will proudly lead our party into November. That is how democracy works.

Rain or shine, this grassroots team shows up! 🌧️🚪
​A massive thank you to the 21 incredible volunteers—family, friends, and neighbors—who spent yesterday knocking on doors in the rain throughout the North End of New Bedford. Seeing our group continue to grow with every single walk is humbling, inspiring, and proof of what a true community-powered campaign looks like.

​A special shout-out to all our first-time canvassers! We had so many folks stepping out for the very first time who shared how much fun they had having genuine conversations with neighbors (and yes, snapping a few rainy-day selfies along the way 📸). Our team keeps the energy high, keeps it fun, and makes sure no one walks alone.

​We’re keeping our boots on the ground and knocking doors all the way through the election—and we’d love to have you with us! Whether you want to join an organized group walk or prefer to knock on doors right on your own street, we’ll get you set up with everything you need.

​👉 Want to help out? Send me a personal message here, and we’ll get you a list and get you rolling!

​Thank you again to everyone who makes this movement so special. Let’s keep this momentum going!
