Letter To The
Editor
To the editor:
As a New Hampshire resident on the verge of
completing 50 years in construction, I worry about who is going to build
our state as my generation exits the field. We need leaders who will
implement policies that assure that careers in the building trades are
secure and attractive to our young people.
Fortunately, we have a candidate on Senate
District 6 who is acutely aware of the exodus of our young people and
has been working in his field to create good high-paying jobs and make
New Hampshire a better place for business.
Joe Casey has been working hard as an
International Representative for the Electricians Union getting projects
off the ground with good paying jobs for high skilled New Hampshire
workers. He was instrumental in creating the best electrical training
center in New England. He understands that education and vocational
training and creating a skilled workforce makes our state more
attractive to employers.
Residents of Barnstead, Gilmanton, Alton, New
Durham, Rochester, and Farmington have the opportunity to vote for a
proven leader, passionate about improving the lives of working people. A
vote for Joe Casey on November 8th is a vote for good jobs and building
a strong economy for New Hampshire.
