To the Editor: I am writing to support Claire Cronin’s candidacy for State Representative in the 11th Plymouth District. I have known Claire for many years in both a social and professional context. We served together on the Frothingham Family Y Board where she demonstrated her ability to work harmoniously and effectively with colleagues in the achievement of common goals.

Her active membership on the FEEE Board is one manifestation of that support. Less apparent was her unassuming yet committed involvement in the several schools her …

To the Editor: Our next State Representative must have the credentials to improve our economic outlook and grow jobs. There is only one candidate who we can trust to increase employment. That’s accountant and Selectman Dan Murphy. As an Easton based business owner I have seen the issues first hand, Mr. Murphy is the clear choice for me! Dan is a tax accountant for small business, he understands the issues confronting and holding back the business community from creating jobs. He will use his expertise to make a difference. He is the only candidate with a plan. Sincerely, William Adams If you would like to write a letter to the editor on this subject or any subject, email Patrick.Maguire@Patch.com
