Matt Dunne, unsuccessful Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, earned designation as a "hero of the service politics movement" in the Daily Kos.

Eric Loeb, promoter of changing the flow of money in politics toward more meaningful uses solving real problems, praised Dunne's decision to weave service projects into his campaign.

Loeb writes, "Dunne's use of service politics went far beyond picking up trash in a local park. Rather they selected "target towns" which they believed would be important in the upcoming general election. Dunne's staff worked with non-profit and social service leaders in those town and designed service projects addressing the issues those leaders identified."
