Republican State Senate candidate Steven Simonian claims he has personally knocked on over 17,000 doors throughout the 2nd Worcester District in his efforts to unseat Democratic incumbent State Senator Mike Moore this November.

The Navy veteran has ignored those who said the district was too big to walk, and has hit over 80 percent of voters in the towns of Auburn, Grafton, Leicester and Millbury, as well as portions of Northbridge, Shrewsbury, Upton and Worcester, according to the Simonian campaign.

"My opponent, being an incumbent Senator can out-fundraise me; he can out-spend me. But under no circumstances will he work harder than me," Simonian said.

"My military and private sector experience have afforded me the determination to make my case to the voters."

Simonian has made a concerted effort to visit the towns of the 2nd Worcester District every day since his original announcement to run for the Senate seat.

"When I started this race, many in the establishment didn’t have faith that my opponent could be given a serious challenge," said Simonian.

"They used to say, 'You don't have a chance, but now since you knocked on my door, I'll vote for you.' This is David vs. Goliath; the question is will money or hard work prevail."
