Chris Allen

Why I Support Barbara

Barbara's involvement in community service, her tireless work on behalf of the elderly, special needs children, and the poor, mark her as a true public servant.

I hope North Andover voters reelect Barbara so that we can continue to have her fighting for our town.

Bill Kelly

Why I Support Barbara

The voters of North Andover will find no better advocate for good government and public education then Barbara L’Italien.

I will be voting for Barbara on November 6th to make sure her good work continues on behalf of the citizens of North Andover.

Karen Kline

I am definitely giving Barbara L'Italien my vote on November 2nd6th!

Stan Limpert

Why I Support Barbara

Barbara has been an advocate for public education throughout her entire tenure as our state representative.

I am happy to call Barbara a partner in helping improve public schools throughout North Andover and the entire Merrimack Valley.

John Fouhy

Why I Support Barbara

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.

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.

Top Priorities for North Andover

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

With recent economic activity impacting communities across Massachusetts, Barbara has worked aggressively to ensure the impact on North Andover is minimal. Through cooperation with local officials, sound management, and aid from both State and Federal sources, Barbara is happy to announce that North Andover avoided many of the dramatic cutbacks that affected many other communities.
