Senator Kerry coming to Lowell on Sunday
This just in by phone from Senator John Kerry’s office: He will be at the Blue Shamrock, 105 Market Street, at 12:30 on Sunday, March 16, to meet with residents for a general gathering. Perhaps he’s visiting the Mill City in preparation for the Democratic State Convention, which will be held in Lowell on June 7, or to line up support against potential challengers in next fall’s election? Perhaps he just wants to chat with Lowell folks for something to do on a Sunday afternoon. One thing for sure: it’s not easy to get his ear, so it’s worth a trip downtown if you want a few minutes with our senator. (I visited D.C. last year with a delegation of Mass. School Committee members and we ended up speaking to his aide.) In fairness, Senator Kennedy’s not that accessible either–unless you’re lucky and quick with elevators–but that’s a story for another day…
