Dear Voters and Residents of the 14th Norfolk District:

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope to provide you with current, relevant information about the issues before the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and my positions on those issues. Additionally, I will be using this vehicle for the next four weeks to communicate important campaign information.

I have been honored to serve as State Representative for the past five and one-half years. During my tenure, I have worked hard to represent the citizens of the 14th Norfolk District by focusing my attention on matters that I believe are important to my constituents, including improving public education for all students in the Commonwealth, passing the first in the nation health care reform act to give virtually all residents access to affordable health insurance, and addressing the Commonwealth's significant transportation infrastructure needs. While progress in these areas has occurred, much remains to be done and I hope to be able to put my years of experience to use to address these issues and the many new challenges we now face caused by a slowing economy.

As you may know, I am being challenged in the September 16th Democratic Primary and therefore must mount a re-election campaign this summer. I appreciate the support that I have received from many of you in the past and hope that you have found my performance to be worthy of your vote and support again this year. If you would like to contribute, volunteer or otherwise assist with the campaign, please click on the relevant tab, or contact my campaign office at 781-646-4611 or reelectalice@alicepeisch.com

If you need additional information on matters pending before the legislature, or would like assistance, please contact me at my State House office by calling 617-722-2800, ext. 8209. Sincerely,

ALICE HANLON PEISCH
State Representative
