We need leadership that will make sure that funding is made available to re-open our local school, not only for children but to help Cheshire grow.
Letter: Blackmer Will Be Dedicated, Passionate Public Servant
She has worked hard and effectively on the City Council and in Boston advocating for our region. She has balanced work and family, always in the service of others.

Letter: Blackmer Outworks Other Candidates
Being a state legislator, contrary to popular opinion, is a very demanding position. It takes great stamina and an ability to juggle 100 things at once, all the while maintaining a sincere ear to listen to your constituents, colleagues, experts, and especially those who need your help.
Letter: Blackmer Is the Public Servant We Need
Over the past decade, there is nobody who has delved further into the policies and practices of local governments than Lisa Blackmer. As a city councilor, town administrator and town treasurer, her dedication did not go unnoticed by others around the state, including the Massachusetts Municipal Association, where she eventually presided over the board.
