She likes Comerford
At the end of July I heard Jo Comerford, candidate for the primary election to State Senate on Sept. 4, speak and answer questions on an evening in Wendell. I can’t remember when I have been so impressed with a political candidate’s presentation. After a long day, she was smart, articulate, focused, detailed in her answers to questions, and in a word INSPIRING. I’ve heard the same report from friends who heard her speak earlier in the day in Greenfield.
Jo has enormous experience in leadership positions in progressive organizations, including Move.on. org, the National Priorities Project, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and the American Friends Service Committee. In response to a question of mine, it was clear she has a passionate interest in education from pre-school to University.
With the departure of Stan Rosenberg, I can think of no one better able to take his place in the state Senate.
As a former town official (nine years on the Wendell Selectboard), I know how crucial it is to have strong leadership in the state Senate; someone familiar with the needs of towns in our district. And as a current registrar of voters, I know how difficult it is to win as a write-in candidate.
So, I urge you in the strongest terms (in this the year of the woman) to write in the name of Jo Comerford and her address (186 Federal Street, Northampton) on your Sept. 4 ballot.
Jo Comerford needs your vote.
