Experience counts. That’s why I’ll be marking my ballot for Lora Wondolowski for state representative on Nov. 3. Lora has spent decades advocating for environmental and farm protections, human rights, and equitable state funding for rural communities.
At organizations including the National Audubon Society and the League of Conservation Voters, Lora worked to promote and strengthen environmental protections. As founding director of the Massachusetts League of Environmental Voters, Lora helped create a coalition of environmental organizations to coordinate legislative advocacy on Beacon Hill. These efforts helped enable the Global Warming Solutions Act, the foundation of all state climate policy.
Serving as president of Greenfield’s City Council, Lora knows firsthand the challenges municipal leaders in Franklin County experience when trying to secure equitable state funding for schools and roads under rules that too often ignore the structural challenges rural communities face.
Having raised two daughters in the public school system, Lora will bring a parent’s perspective to policy discussions about how the commonwealth educates future generations while addressing a declining student population. She’s adept at multitasking.
Lora knows and has collaborated with our western Massachusetts legislative team for years on a variety of critical issues, and she will be ready on day one to work alongside them to advocate with a unified voice for our region.
Lora’s depth of experience speaks for itself. On Nov. 3, please join me in voting to elect Lora Wondolowski as our next state representative and put her experience to work for the 1st Franklin District!
