It has been our pleasure to have become friends with Mario Ratzki and his wife Caroline. While searching New England for a new home after Boston, Andover won out, and they are very pleased with their choice, as are we. They are both exemplars of public service.

Mario is finishing a most successful first term and is now running for a second term as State Representative to again represent Andover, Salisbury, and Danbury.

We believe wholeheartedly that Mario Ratzki rightly deserves a second term. His attendance at House sessions has been admirable; he has been sensitive to the political feelings of his constituents irrespective of party affiliation; in Concord he has educated himself thoroughly on the issues of his committees, as well as most other committees; and he works well across party lines.

Our three towns are privileged to be represented so ably by Mario Ratzki, and we totally support him for another term.
