She has worked with commitment on issues that concern voters in this district, including: equitable state funding of public education; strengthening rural communities; social justice for all; civic engagement; youth and gender; agriculture; access to affordable health care; defending the environment; municipal government; increasing housing options and building more resilient infrastructure.

I personally am impressed with how Lora handles herself with constituents. She is unflappable when dealing with opposing views, challenging issues and working to find the place where people can come together. Check!

A number of civic groups have endorsed Lora, among them: Sierra Club Massachusetts, Franklin County Continuing the Political Revolution (FCCPR), Progressive Mass, Mass Alliance, Massachusetts Working Families Party and Service Employees International Union.

Add all that up, and I think you’ll agree that Lora is more than ready to represent us on Beacon Hill — starting immediately.

That is why I hope you will join me on Tuesday, Sept. 1 — or with your mail-in ballot — to fill in the box and vote for Lora Wondolowski for our next state representative of the 1st Franklin District.
