I support Colleen Lachowicz in the Democratic primary for state Senate District 25 on June 12.

At a time when money talks in politics, we need a candidate who speaks louder than money.

We need someone who doesn’t just talk about hearing people’s concerns, she really listens to people. Some of us can afford to take a day off and go to rallies in Augusta to make our voices heard, but she listens to people who can’t make that drive but need to be heard, too.

Lachowicz proves she hears those concerns. It is clear that people who have difficulties turn to her for help. She’s helped people even when she’s not running for office through her work in our schools, at the South End Teen Center and other volunteer efforts. Vote for her because she’s been here.
