A personal conflict with Mr. Donelan has led me to your candidacy for State representative for our district. I was able to only watch the first 20 minutes of your debate from Mr. Donelan last night. However, I’m intrigued by some of the things you say and, even as a lifelong “Democrat”. I especially like your thoughts on keeping the youth of this district within this district. A resident of the Athol/Orange area, I have seen far too many young people who have had to leave the area due to a lack of opportunities for them in the area. It is no longer my personal conflict with Mr. Donelan that is leading me to lean towards a vote for you, but it is the fine words that you are saying in this video and the things that I heard you say in the debate.

Thank you for at least giving us a choice in this year’s election.
