Koutoujian for Congress!

Now that Senator Markey has been installed, we will have another special election to fill his old seat in the House. I'm voting for Sheriff Peter Koutoujian. He has been an excellent State Rep and Sheriff. As chair of the House Public Health Committee, he drafted and pushed the law banning smoking in the workplace. As Sheriff, he expanded inmate education and job training, reasoning that education and training can lead to good job opportunities, and thus reduce recidivism. In addition, he's a good Democrat and a good friend. I urge all dems who live in the 5th Mass to vote for Peter.
