Opinion

To the Editor:

I’m voting for Jeremy McPike because I know he’s the strongest candidate, because I know he has the smartest policies, and because I know he’s the most effective leader running for State Senate. But that’s not the only reason I’m voting for Jeremy. I’m voting for Jeremy because I see in him the capability and passion necessary to protect and cultivate the community that I grew up in and the community that I love. Like Jeremy I was born and raised in Woodbridge and as a child of Ghanaian immigrants I was taught to realize how lucky I was to live in an area where I could grow and learn and dream far beyond what my parents could in their childhood.
