We want to express our appreciation to Mary Anne Broshek for her willingness to become a candidate to represent Andover, Danbury and Salisbury in the state legislature. Mary Anne is a person of highest integrity who can be counted on to work across the aisle in advocating for thoughtful, measured, and financially responsible solutions to the many critical issues now confronting the state. She is a most worthy person to pick up where Mario Ratzki left off in shaping appropriate legislation that deals with the pressures of climate change, gun violence, health care, Northern Pass, women’s rights, job training, infrastructure, college tuitions and drugs. These are not problems with easy politically motivated solutions. Lasting solutions will require representatives who consider the needs of their constituents and work diligently to meet them. The area is fortunate to have such a person as a candidate. We urge you to support Mary Anne Broshek in the November election. Chris & Kit Norris.
