FRANCO KICKS OFF DOOR KNOCKING CAMPAIGN
Candidate Making House Calls
Paxton, MA…Today Paul Franco, Republican candidate for State Representative in the Thirteenth Worcester District, announced that he has kicked off his door knocking campaign in Paxton.
“It is very important to meet voters face to face,” stated Franco. “I am running for State Representative to serve the people of Paxton and Worcester not the Beacon Hill insiders. I want to meet with as many voters as possible over the next 83 days to discuss my ideas for creating fiscal responsibility within the state budget, a lower tax burden and reviving our economy.”
Franco believes that visiting voters at their doors is the best method for opening a dialogue on the serious issues confronting our district and state. He plans to door knock straight through until November 2nd.
“It is important that the people of the district know that they have direct access to their elected leaders. That’s why I am going to their doors. I plan on wearing out multiple pairs of shoes,” said Franco. As the next State Representative, I will have an open door policy for meeting with constituents.”
On another campaign matter, Franco is still the only candidate to sign the No New Taxes pledge.
Lieutenant Colonel Paul J. Franco just came off active duty as a US Army Reservist. He has been working as a Soldiers’ Counsel at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, for the past year as a mobilized US Army Reservist. His duties were to represent those soldiers injured during the war to ensure they receive the appropriate amount of compensation before being medically retired or separated. Franco’s efforts were so successful that over 70-percent of the soldiers he represented received an increase in their benefits or managed to be retained in the Army.
On June 14th, he was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by the Northern Regional Medical Commander, Major General Carla Hawley-Bowland, for his “unwavering professionalism, commitment.”
Besides being an officer in the US Army Reserve since 1980, Franco has lived in Worcester for 22 years where he has practiced law. He has worked as an attorney with the Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia for the past 10 years. Franco has also been active within the community serving on the West Tatnuck Elementary Parents’ Advisory Council, Christ the King Church Parish Council, and as Director of Tee-ball and AA Boys Baseball Leagues for 2008-2009 with the Jesse Burkett Little League. He has also coached and served on the Board of Directors for the St. Peter’s Church basketball league and he has coached youth soccer in Worcester since 1994.
Franco has been married to Mary Ann Franco for nearly 27 years and they have six children, ranging in ages from eight to 25. All of his children are or have attended the Worcester Public Schools. Franco plans to use his leadership and experience in his military and law practice to help the Commonwealth make the tough decisions necessary to stimulate the economy, create jobs and improve the quality of life for his constituents.
