Romney administration calls for Kerry to resign boston.com By Associated Press \| June 15, 2004 BOSTON --The Romney administration called Tuesday for Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry to resign while he runs for president, saying he's had an abysmal attendance record since launching his campaign last year and is not adequately representing his constituents. Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, a Republican, said Kerry has missed 64 percent of last year's roll call votes and 87 percent this year, including a vote on banning Internet child pornography. He also missed a vote on extending unemployment insurance benefits, which was defeated by one vote. "It's not fair, it's not right and the public is not being well-served," said Healey, who said she was acting on behalf of Gov. Mitt Romney. "I'm calling on John Kerry to resign so that we can fill that office with someone who is 100 percent devoted to the job of representing the people of Massachusetts." A spokesman for the Kerry campaign did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Kerry, who is to receive the Democratic nomination for president at next month's national convention in Boston, said in February that he had no plans to resign his Senate seat. Under current state law, the governor would appoint someone to fill the remainder of Kerry's term, which is set to expire in 2008.
