I write to support Eric Lesser for lieutenant governor. We in western Massachusetts need a strong voice in the executive branch of our state government and Eric is the best person, and only person, running for lieutenant governor who can provide that.

Eric had demonstrated his effectiveness in this regard by leading the effort in our legislature to establish the East-West rail line which was once only a dream and is now becoming a reality. Under the Massachusetts Constitution, the lieutenant governor is responsible for working with the Governor’s Council to select all our state court judges who oversee all our courts on a daily basis. Eric is uniquely qualified to represent our interests in these important appointments.

We need Eric’s voice for us in Boston. I urge you to vote for Eric Lesser for lieutenant governor.
