Dear Friends:
It doesn’t matter what you say. It’s what you do. It’s what you fight for. It’s what you
stand for.
As your Assemblyman, I’ve never been afraid to challenge the powerful. Whether it was
demanding that Belmont Racetrack be a better neighbor, winning record-shattering increases
to school aid or fighting health care cuts to our own Franklin Hospital, I’ve never backed down
for what’s best for our community.
Over the months, many of you have shared personal stories with me about sub-prime mortgages
in our neighborhoods, outrageous health care costs and skyrocketing real property taxes. While
some have simplistic answers and only pointed fingers, I’ve done something to bring solutions to
these problems.
I’ve stood up and won record aid for our schools. I stopped the health care cuts. I won the fight
in the Assembly to pass legislation that helps those struggling with their mortgage payments.
And, I stood up for common sense plans to cut taxes. That’s probably why the Drum Major
Institute for Public Policy gave me one of their highest ratings for being “a fighter for the middle
class.”
Rest assured, I will continue the fight to do what’s right for our neighborhoods. I will demand
that the federal government address outrageous gas prices. And, I will continue to stand up and
be a voice that demands accountability and change.
My hallmark as your Assemblyman has been hope, opportunity, social justice and community.
And, if I can be of further service to you, all you have to do is ask. Write, e-mail or call me
anytime.

Sincerely,

Asssemblyman
