Doug Peterson's Seat
As I'm sure most people already know, long-time Representative Doug Peterson is stepping aside to become the state's Secretary of Agriculture. And that opens up a whole, exciting can of worms: an open seat! Of course, there are lots of people who want the job, from the Cassidy Family (whichever of them decides to run) to Marc Paster. I don't know about other town residents, but as a life-long resident of Swampscott, I'm ready for some fresh, new leadership.
So, I'm throwing my early support behind the highly qualified activist and small business owner Lori Ehrlich. She was born in Lynn, raised in Swampscott and currently resides in Marblehead - so she has all her tracks covered. Furthermore, what's she's already done for the environment is pretty astounding. Her top three priorities as a state legislator would be as follows:
1. Increase local aid for education and other expenses.
2. Create strong policies for public health and the environment.
3. Create a stronger environment for small businesses.
Sounds pretty good to me. Check out dozens of Lori's articles over at where she frequently writes, TruthandProgress.com.
