Dear Editor,
It’s time to move on from State Senator Barry Finegold, a career politician out of touch with the clear desires of voters, including his own base. How can he defend so publicly arguing with State Auditor Diana DiZoglio over the merits of state government transparency? How can he defend so brazenly courting dollars from out-of-region high-powered Boston-based lawyers, corporate CEOs, and, perhaps most shockingly, max donations from out-of-state Anthropic AI workers to the point Senator Finegold has received more individual donations from Anthropic workers this year than six of the seven communities in his Senate District!
Who is Senator Finegold looking to represent and work for? Follow the money. Cleary not District voters. Where has Senator Finegold been during difficult local budgetary debates and infrastructure issues such as last year’s Proposition 2 ½ override vote in Amesbury? He is nowhere to be found. Is it any surprise Senator Finegold is dodging a debate with my husband, just like he did with his previous opponent? Senator Finegold believes he is above it all, including answering to voters.
So many of us want change in our communities or in the world itself but are not sure where to start. Our campaign is sending out a large ripple we have faith will grow into a tidal wave of support for a voice of common sense and strength.
I’m concerned whether the four teenage kids in my household can make it and have a future in Massachusetts. It’s not just the cost of living in this state, but the stripping of our basic freedoms, increasing state mandates, layers of bureaucracy, and lack of transparency that 72% of us demanded that is crushing families, businesses, and communities. Nothing will change by sticking with the status quo. In fact, it will only guarantee conditions will get worse.
My husband is a fighter and would love to fight for you. He refuses to accept the lazy establishment narrative that voters are satisfied with local and state conditions. This is not the message Ted has received from a broad spectrum of residents via the endless hours he has walked door-to-door for months. Ted is that fresh voice Beacon Hill so desperately needs, a voice that will represent the desires and feedback he has received from District Democrats, Independents, and Republicans.
Please vote Theodore Semesnyei for 2nd Essex and Middlesex District and please spread the word! Visit TedforStateSenate.com for more.
Sincerely,
Jillian Semesnyei
