Left In Lowell

Finally have a moment to take a breath and post. If you hadn’t caught the breaking news page on the Sun yesterday, or Cliff’s post today, you might not have heard about the citizen’s municipal PAC (Political Action Committee) that is being formed. The Move Lowell Forward PAC is a nonpartisan group of Lowell citizens who support professional city government and are interested in increasing voter turnout. We intend to be very active this election season.

Full disclosure, I am the new PAC’s co-chair. Cliff Krieger is Chair. As you can well see from that combination, this is very nonpartisan. I’m happy to be working with him, but I can tell you that this is not at all about “bloggers.” I have no doubt that some might want you to believe that. But citizens from all walks of life are involved, and we’re excited to get this movement off the ground.

We intend to heavily work a GOTV plan and send out information to the voters. We believe Lowell deserves a true debate about what’s at stake in November. We have also endorsed Fair Vote Lowell. Stay tuned, join our Facebook page, and you can also sign up for the mailing list on our website.
