When I heard that Jo Comerford is running a write-in campaign for the Hampshire, Franklin and Worcester state Senate seat, I literally screamed with delight.
I’ve known Comerford for over 15 years and she’s smart, committed to issues I care about, and highly skilled at pulling together people to get things done. She is a true bridge-builder, able to work with everyone to advance the common good.
I don’t live in her district, yet for the next few months I’m making time that I didn’t know I have to volunteer for her campaign. At a time when western Massachusetts has lost many of our powerful voices in the Statehouse, she is the perfect person to step in and represent all of us in the region.
Comerford has spent her career making progressive change happen at the local, state, and national levels. Having led the National Priorities Project to help us all understand where our federal tax dollars go, she knows that state and federal budgets are moral documents that express our values.
As a campaign director for MoveOn.org, Comerford spent four years working side-by-side with state and federal leaders to advance support for public education, sensible gun laws, accessible and affordable health care, and renewable energy policies.
Now, she’s ready to take her extensive experience, deep knowledge, and strong vision to work for all of us. Learn more about her at https://jocomerford.org/, then join me in helping her win a seat in the state Senate.
