If Lowell is your home, this is your place

Ms. Betts seems to rely heavily on the national progressive talking points, ideology, and outside money rather than the local “kitchen table” issues of the hardworking taxpayers of Lowell and Chelmsford. Also, relying on higher corporate taxes to fund state projects can easily backfire, as large companies frequently pass those extra costs down to everyday consumers, the hardworking taxpayers, making groceries, energy, and housing even more expensive for local “working families”. Furthermore, while she champions a "grassroots" campaign, a very significant portion of her support and funding comes from major outside political action committees (PACs) and out-of-state organizations rather than our own community members. To me, and I am sure others as well, true accountability means focusing on our district's specific needs and quality of life instead of letting top-down state mandates and outside political interests dictate how we all live—which doesn’t seem or sound very Democratic to me!
