Letter to the Editor: Why I'm Voting For Craig Spadafora

Republican Craig Spadafora faces Democrat Katherine Clark in next month's election for state Senate.

To the editor:

State Senate candidate Craig Spadafora comes from a prominent Malden family. He is a well respected four term Malden City Counselor-At Large and is endorsed by the current State Senator, Richard Tisei. A Senator who has done an excellent job representing this district over the past twenty years. If that's not enough I have a few more reasons I would like you to join me in voting for Craig Spadafora on November 2.

1. Craig Spadafora is a financial analyst who understands business and how government can either help or hurt growth. I can think of no individual Massachusetts needs more than Craig Spadafora as a State Senator during these troubled economic times.

2. I would like to see balanced government back in Massachusetts. In a vibrant two party system the good ideas rise to the top during debate. When one party holds power too long they get lax and complacent leading to the many scandals we've seen recently on Beacon Hill.

3. Katherine Clark is a nice person but she is wrong on the issues. She has voted for eight tax increases over the past few years. Increasing taxes is absolutely the wrong thing to do during a recessesion.

4. I noticed many union members holding signs for Katherine Clark during the Primary voting September 14. My friends who voted at other polls in Wakefield reported seeing nine at each poll location staying there from seven in the morning to seven at night. When a vote in the Senate requires her to choose between the unions or us, will she choose us?

This year is so important and the choice so clear, please join me in voting for Craig Spadafora-State Senate. Thank you.
