John Fouhy

Why John Fouhy Supports Barbara L'Italien

I support Barbara because she is willing to make hard decisions on difficult issues.  Barbara stands up for people who don’t always have a voice at the State House. She works hard every day for me and others who live and work in her district.

We need more people like Barbara to represent us in Boston.

Barbara helped facilitate a resolution to the electrical pole issue at North Andover Common.

Barbara attended Merrimack College in North Andover and her brother’s family lives in town.

She holds monthly office hours at Town Hall, and every fall, sponsors a Fuel Assistance Forum at the North Andover Senior Center, where all residents (not just seniors!) are invited to attend.
