While originally a staunch supporter of the death penalty, Slattery later came to oppose it, with his vote against a 1997 bill to reinstate the practice in Massachusetts causing the resolution to fail.[2]
Slattery ran for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts in 2002, but lost the Democratic nomination to Chris Gabrieli.[3] He was a candidate for mayor of Peabody in 2005, but lost to incumbent Michael Bonfanti.[4] In 2012, John announced his plans to run for Massachusetts State Senate.[5] He lost the Democratic primary to Joan Lovely, then a member of the Salem city council.[6]
