Welcome

Welcome to my website. I’m running for State Senate because we need to create a fiscally responsible growth plan to restore our economy, create jobs, and strengthen our schools.

We need fresh ideas and innovative thinking to transform state government - and most of all, we need people who are willing to get involved.

With your help, I will bring a new set of eyes and a deep sense of urgency to address the challenges before us.

In order to be successful I need your help. Please send me your ideas and comments, volunteer on our campaign and contribute what you can afford.

Letter: Silberstein has earned diverse endorsements

Editor, Townsman:

It is no secret that I have been a staunch supporter of Debbie Silberstein over the past several years. After participating in two successful local election campaigns for her and being involved with building support for school budget issues over the past six years, I have witnessed Silberstein build a broad-based grassroots constituency to promote our public schools. As chairwoman of the School Committee she demonstrated great leadership skills and the ability to bring together citizens to create consensus despite difficult budget times like today.

As a candidate for the state senate seat, she has gained support from a diverse group of organizations that extend well beyond the district borders. From education to health care, workers' rights to environmental protection, and economic justice to civil rights, she has been honored with more endorsements than any other candidate running for the state senate. And she earned each endorsement through a rigorous competitive interview process and the resulting consensus and approval of many organization leaders.

Silberstein listens, collaborates, accomplishes

Editor, Townsman:

Over the past five years, I have worked closely with state senate candidate Debbie Silberstein in my roles on the Andover Special Education Parent Advisory Council, the Budget Advisory Task Force, and the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. In each capacity, she has proven to be a true visionary who works tirelessly to advocate for quality and excellence. She is a leader amongst leaders, a consensus builder, and a diplomatic problem-solver. Silberstein is a masterful listener who works diligently to facilitate, negotiate, and collaborate, and when necessary, she does not hesitate to challenge the status quo. She is a community activist and independent thinker and these skills will serve her and her constituents well in the Senate. She is a tireless advocate for the children and seniors, and promotes diversity and equal opportunity for all.
