I’ve recently had the chance to meet Jo Comerford, the write-in candidate in our district for state senator, and I’m very impressed by her grassroots experience and her knowledge of how government works.
What I noticed about Jo is that she is very well-spoken and a great listener. I think these skills make her an excellent candidate to represent the people in Franklin County.
I’m pleased to know that her children are in public schools and that a well-funded public school system is one of her top priorities. She strongly supports Medicare and the proposal for a single payer system based on patient-centered care.
The state Senate on Beacon Hill is going to be dealing with our state health care system during a chaotic time in Washington. She is compassionate about the many tens of thousands of low-income and elderly people in our state who might be at serious risk by policy changes at the federal level.
I also like that she’s been endorsed by former Congressman John Olver, Northampton Mayor David Narkewicz, District Attorney David Sullivan, former Amherst State Rep. Ellen Story and former GCC President Bob Pura.
I’m voting for write-in candidate Jo Comerford, because of her commitment to public education, affordable healthcare, key social net programs for low-income people, including elders and our disable citizens.
