Working Families Party arrives in New London by my neighbor Amber Marie Frazier:

"Voters in New London will see a new party line this election: The Working Families Party line. The WFP is the party building a democracy that benefits all working people, not just the wealthy and well connected. I am excited to see WFP challenge the status quo to bring my city better, more competitive politics. I am equally thrilled that they’ve nominated Alisha Blake on Row C for Board of Education.
Alisha is a proud mother, activist, volunteer, and small business owner. She is exactly the kind of strong, intelligent, practical woman New London needs right now. Her passion for public investment in our children, her understanding that education represents the future prosperity of our city, and her willingness to challenge establishment politics head-on makes Alisha Blake the perfect candidate to bring the Working Families Party to our city.
I’m excited to vote for Alisha Blake on Row C this Tuesday, and I hope you do as well. My vote isn’t just a vote for the fierce advocate our students deserve, it’s also a vote for a brighter political future in New London, with Working Families Party candidates leading the way. "

Norm is a retired union member who has been with us since our first volunteer training. He has made calls and knocked doors with us nearly every weekend. Thank you Norm!
