Letter: Committed Wilson is different kind of leader

Committed Wilson different kind of leader

Editor, Townsman:

Jack Wilson has declared his candidacy for State Senator in the 2nd Essex and Middlesex District. We are fortunate to have a candidate who is both exceptionally qualified and a refreshing change from the typical professional politician.

Our district needs a senator who starts by listening; who will stand up for the families and businesses in the district; and who will stand against insiders who think they know better than you what's best for you.

Wilson is a fellow businessman, who understands the need for economic and fiscal discipline on Beacon Hill. He supports both the rollback of the state sales tax to 5 percent, and the elimination of the sales tax on alcohol. He believes that our economy needs fixing, and that creating private sector jobs is the only solution.

We are registered as independent voters, and we have rarely felt this committed to a political campaign. Wilson's knowledge of our issues, his desire to bring integrity back to government, and his vision for economic development have caught our attention and have compelled us to support his campaign.

Wilson is a lifelong native of Merrimack valley, a resident of Andover, and the parent of three school-age children. He is committed to our community having volunteered for the Andover Hockey Association, Little League, Junior Football League, Youth Lacrosse, the Shawsheen School PTO, the South School PTO, the Doherty School PAC, and Andover Youth Services "Raise the Roof" Committee.

If you agree with us that we need a new direction in our state, if you agree with us that we need a different kind of leader on Beacon Hill, if you agree with us that we need a senator who

starts by listening, please join us in supporting Wilson for state senate.
