Gordon to run for re-election
There are two kinds of legislators on Beacon Hill. Some show up just to talk, some to act. Some wave their fist in righteous indignation as opportunities pass them by; others sit down with colleagues, discuss their differences and get things done.
In my four years in the Legislature I have focused on solving problems rather than making speeches about them. I have listened to your concerns, and addressed them. That is why I enter the coming election season with the momentum of accomplishment. In the past two years, they include the following:
Rep. Ken Gordon on local impact of violence in Baton Rouge, St. Paul, Dallas
Last Friday, the day the news of the horrific sniper attack in Dallas woke us from our sleep, I joined Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian and Burlington’s assistant police chief Tom Duffy at the graduation of the Sheriff Department’s Youth Public Safety Academy.
