In the 23rd Middlesex special election for state representative....

The Chimes at Midnight proudly endorses the candidacy of Jeff Thielman.

Arlington has just passed thru what amounts to a golden age in terms of representation in the Great-n-Gen'rl Court, Bob Havern and Jim Marzilli in their own way lived up to very high expectations on the part of the electorate.
Now with Marzilli ascension into the state senate the Town of Arlington needs to find a rep with guts, brains and stamina...someone who brings real life experience and a proven record to the sinecure.
Someone in short, who will make their mark and do right by the Town...and that person is Jeff Thielman. He has been a active member of the school committee, an attorney, vice chair of the local democratic committee and the executive director of the Cassin Education Initiative Foundation. Jeff's hard work helped save North Cambridge Catholic as well as other imperiled working-class parochial schools from closure.
He is a serious man with a real record of energy and accomplishment, he will do honor to the district.

The other two democratic candidates are good people, Sean Garballey is also a member of the school committee, but at age twenty two he is nowhere near as seasoned as Jeff Thielman, ditto Andrew O'Brien who seems well informed and is otherwise something of an obscurity in the race.

To Humble Elias, Jeff seems born to the job, but that is just his opinion, the democrats of the 23rd house district get their say on Tuesday, don't forget to vote!
