Dear Friends,
I've been working very hard to return to the Haverhill City Council, going door-to-door for 12-15 hours per week since the end of May, in addition to my full-time job and family commitments.
I served 10 years on the City Council, the last two years as President. However, I have not been in hibernation since leaving the Council. I've been fighting for economic development and jobs, real educational opportunity for our children, and of course my hallmark, a return to a long range planning mindset in Haverhill!
