I got to know Patrick during the 2007 special Congressional election. I found him to be a clear thinker; articulate with a refreshing approach to public service. I think he will raise the level of the debate during this campaign season.

I figured I’d post today’s Lowell Sun article to the comments: http://www.lowellsun.com/local/ci_12730164 More to come…

Best of luck to these two young men. It has been awhile since there has been a major change on the city council (as well as the school committee), and recent events indicate the time is due.

Consider this a public notice to all Lowell Candidates to attend a Centralville Neighborhood Action Group (CNAG) meeting(s) which are held on the 3rd Monday of every month, except December. Prior to the November election, meetings will be on 7/20, 8/17, 9/21 & 10/19. The next two meetings, July & August will be held at the Dom Polski Club on Coburn Street, starting promptly at 6:30pm.
CNAG will be treating this with an “Open Door Policy”, giving candidates a 10 minute “Hi, my name is____. I’m running for _____.” Please be prepared to answer a couple of random questions from the audience in this time.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me, John Mitchell, aka Jack (sleeping.giant.stirs@gmail.com) or contact your friendly CNAG POC.
PS. This was planned for City Council candidates, but I don’t see the harm in opening it up to others running in city wide races. If CNAG gets over run with hopefuls, we will take folks on a first come first serve basis, reserving the right to ask a candidate to come back the following month. We will do our best to give everyone a chance to speak, if they show up. However, if the night goes long, it is best to let folks go home, then to keep them too long. Take my word on that.;v)

Jack:
Will you be video taping the candidates’ session? If so, uploading them to Youtube or fliptv would be helpful to all of the residents of the City.
