There is saying that “all politics is ;ocal.” It is for that reason I will be voting to reelect Gov. Maura Healey. The Gazette recently reported on how Massachusetts has received federal funding for East-West passenger rail between Springfield and Worcester, which would bring us closer to Boston. This is just the latest example of how Gov. Healey has shown her commitment to the entire commonwealth. She and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll have emphasized all parts of our state, and neither are unfamiliar presences in our valley. We may not have the population that the eastern part of the state has, but western Massachusetts has so much to offer, and the Healey administration has shown they recognize that. That’s why I’ll be voting to reelect Gov. Healey; “all politics are local,” and this administration has proven our locality is just as important as any inside I-495. I hope you will join me in keeping Gov. Healey in the State House, so she can continue to serve all of Massachusetts.
