To the
Editor and citizens of Andover, Dracut, Lawrence, and
Tewksbury:
I am profoundly grateful to you for allowing me to serve as
your State Senator for many years. It is a wonderful privilege
to be of service to the communities and the people who put
their trust in me. I especially thank my family, friends, and
supporters who have given so much time and energy to my
campaigns and shaping my public policies.
Whether you agreed or disagreed with my positions and votes on
the hundreds of complicated issues that came before the State
Senate this decade, I always listened carefully to both sides
and then "called it like I saw it," regardless of party
affiliation or special interests. Whether it was my vote
against raising the sales tax or my vote for ethics reform, I
always had the best interests of my district first and
foremost.
Working as a team with so many of you in the district led to
some terrific accomplishments, such as dramatically reducing
the cost of auto insurance for all good drivers by kicking
fraud out of the system, passing comprehensive legislation to
reduce the foreclosure crisis, and preserving the Tewksbury
State Hospital open space for generations to come.
Most of you know that I have been a tireless advocate for
senior citizens to have the choice of remaining in their
homes; for better schools; and for using quality management
tools to make government more efficient and customer-friendly.
Above all, I hate rip-offs whether public or private, and that
is the reason I am working to keep predatory gambling out of
the Commonwealth.
Together with my family, I decided that it is time for me to
trade the long hours and rigors of public life for new
opportunities, especially getting to know our new
granddaughter.
Please remember that I will continue to work hard as your
Senator until January, 2011. My priorities include local aid
for the towns I represent; creating jobs, especially for the
trades by converting the wonderful old mills into housing; and
passing my Financial Literacy bill. Please visit my website,
www.suetucker.org for more information.
I am always available at (617)722-1612 or
susan.tucker@state.ma.us.
With warmest wishes and gratitude,
Senator Sue Tucker |
