I was invited by the Merrimack Valley Central Labor Council to come in and discuss my response to the AFL-CIO issue survey. I was pleased that they invited me in to share my views. Needless to say there were a few issues we disagreed on. They were very respectful and I look forward to working with them after I am elected.
    Thus far I have made sure to reply to every survey I have received. Every citizen, or interest group, that asks deserves to know where I stand on issues that affect them. “Special interests” are an easy target to attack but usually they are citizens that are passionate about issues and fight for their position.
    Individuals and groups that we don’t always agree with deserve the candidate’s ear. Speaking only to those we agree with is the intellectually lazy person’s way out. As the next representative of the 36th Middlesex District my door will be open to all.
