The upcoming Sept. 4 Primary (the Tuesday after Labor Day weekend) will provide residents of Massachusetts with an opportunity to impact our political culture with a change for the better by nominating Beth Lindstrom for the U.S. Senate race in November.

Beth is diplomatic, patient, calm, a team builder, and someone who can work with everyone. She is 180 degrees from being antagonistic — but rather, she is a genuine collaborator. As a small business owner herself, Beth understands that lower taxes and fewer regulations help, allowing small business owners to reinvest in their companies and their employees.

Beth has also served the people of Massachusetts as the Director of both the State Lottery and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. As intelligent as she is, she never comes across as a know-it-all, and she actively admits that she would seek to surround herself with people, regardless of party, who could solve the issues that continue to plague D.C.

Beth Lindstrom isn’t going to Washington to “fight,” she is going to Washington to build and to solve problems collectively.

Educate yourself about Beth (bethforsenate.com) and see where she stands on issues and policies. Listen to some of her interviews. Give her a chance — she will work so hard for you and for all of us because that is the kind of sincere person Beth Lindstrom is, and why she will have my vote.
