Andrea Silbert Endorsed by Left in Lowell blog

September 13, 2006 By dorieclark 5 Comments

Personality

The first thing that comes through when listening to Andrea is her alert engagement with what’s in front of her. She exudes energy and enthusiasm, and also has the edge we need when fighting off the attacks from the Republicans in the general election. She’s smart and quick, and understands how to get her ideas across without losing the interest of the average voter. She has rapidly become a polished speaker; though some on the blogs had doubts about her intensity at the beginning, she has proven that it is an asset, one that we need if we want to defeat the Republican ticket.

Positions

Although most of the candidates share my values, I find most often my exact views are in line with Andrea’s. Even if the state does not have much of a say, for instance, in the Cape Wind debate, her strong position for Cape Wind appeals to me. And she has the strength of character to follow through and lobby for what she feels the state needs. I have no doubt that she’ll not only make her views heard, but understood, and will fight for them.

Presence

At the beginning of this race, I wondered if voters would respond to Andrea’s intensity or be turned off by it. But in the final analysis, I find her ability to appeal to voters’ emotions on the one hand, and her excitement for the race on the other, to strike the right balance. Her stage presence is strong and dynamic. She comes across as honest, and she’s believable as a leader. There’s in doubt left in your mind after watching her; she will remain as engaged and energetic after she is elected and fill out the roll of Lt. Governor, defining for herself a significant roll in the next administration.

Any ticket should be proud to have Andrea Silbert as their second in command, and it is my hope she will be the next Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

    BMG is going to get pretty blogged down if Bob headlines every “endorsement” written by one person to express one person’s personal opinion.

    Strange bias detected.

      This is a blog, not a newspaper.  Each editor has the ability to “front page” User Posts they like.  I believe they don’t consult the others before doing so.

      Bob has said he’s a friend of Andrea’s and has supported her from the outset.  Charley and David have said they are undecided.

      <

      And in fairness, you’ll notice that Bob also frontpaged Tim’s week-old Needham Times endorsement that didn’t contain a link to the article.

      Let’s see what he does/they do with today’s endorsements that I’ve posted and that others will presumably post as well as they become known.

      There are 3 regular writers on LeftInLowell — Mimi, KRS, and Lynne — although you could call Lynne “Editor-in-Chief.” Of course there is a good number (?) of regular contributors.

      I don’t know to what extent the LiL endorsement was a collaborative or individual affair, although I suspect the latter.

        which is also noted on my sidebar where the candidates are listed.

        We were thinking about getting together to do a group endorsement but with everything going on, there wasn’t time to organize one.

    Welcome on board, Lynne! (Although I still maintain we have 3 excellent candidates.)

If ⁦@BillGalvin4MA⁩ hadn’t BLOCKED a lawsuit in 2017 challenging the state’s requirement that eligible voters register 20 days before an election, we would have same-day voter registration today. His reason? “Paperwork.” This moment demands so much more #mapoli #democracy

This move is:

A) Harmful (more kids will be labeled "failing" during an ongoing pandemic)
B) Backwards (only 11 states use graduation exams, down from 27)
C) Un-democratic (225 of 229 public comment were against this)
D) All of the above!

This comparison is beyond repugnant. I wish I could say #mapoli is better than this, but here we are...

Patrick Kearney @RepKearney

On January 6, people DIED, because Trump told lies about election integrity. @cdempc says he voted in every election since 06 but is shown skipping ‘16 and ‘20 primaries . Can we get some clarification @BillGalvin4MA @Tanisha4MA @DianaDiZoglio? #mapoli

Thread 1/3
Is @marcela_elisa working for the Arroyo campaign? She made a big deal about Mijente endorsing Arroyo. In her Globe article she implied that Mijente was a large organization. Boy was she trying to pull the wool over everyones eyes!!
