Georgetown Testimonials

Bob Watts

Why Bob Watts Supports Barbara L'Italien

We are very lucky to have Barbara L’Italien working for us in Boston. She’s been a tireless advocate for the “little guy”, especially in the areas of seniors, children with special needs and public education.

Ever conscious of delivering the biggest bang for the buck, Barbara’s creative approach provides high quality services while keeping a watchful eye on cost.

The Comiskey's

Why George & Chris Comiskey Support Barbara L'Italien

We have been especially impressed by Barbara L'Italien's support of several bills that will help safeguard Georgetown’s natural resources.

Barbara has also been a stalwart advocate for special needs children, with her legislation in the area of Autism having the potential to benefit Massachusetts families for generations.

Reg Tardiff

Why Reg Tardiff Supports Barbara L'Italien

I would tell anyone in Barbara’s district that as Vice Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee she has made responsible economic decisions for us; she has been an outstanding proponent for those afflicted with autism; and has stood up for quality education.

Barbara has been a strong leader for Georgetown, and I genuinely believe we need to re-elect her.

Emily McGranachan

Why Emily McGranachan Supports Barbara L'Italien

In 2009 I interned for Barbara L’Italien and saw the dedication and commitment that she has for her constituents and for Massachusetts.

The results of Representative L'Italien's hard work can be seen in the State House and throughout our local communities.

Barbara has been working hard to see a new or renovated Penn Brook School become a reality.

Barbara holds monthly office hours in Georgetown, and, each fall, sponsors a Fuel Assistance Forum at the Georgetown Senior Center, where all residents (not just seniors!) are invited to attend.
