Mel Warshaw
“Chris will help restore confidence in our district’s representation at the State House and in public policy decision-making that moves Framingham and the Commonwealth forward. Being an effective State Rep takes wit, wisdom, creative thinking, and the ability to work unselfishly and collaboratively on a broad spectrum of issues. Chris has exactly the right disposition to do this. He listens in earnest, and speaks comfortably, persuasively and honestly with anyone, even when they disagree. Framingham is ready for a leader like Chris and I know Chris is ready to take on the challenge of the State House.”
-Helen Lemoine
“I support Chris Walsh because our community needs an understanding and highly motivated Representative in the State House. “Chris is not a single-issue candidate. He grasps the enormity of the economic characteristics of our Town and region; the need for public policy and finance that is fair and reasonable for all segments of our population; and the importance of balance. Chris will bring a trained mind, creative thinking and a commitment in terms of time and energy that will serve us well.”
-Betty Funk
“I know Chris Walsh is the best and only choice for State Rep. Chris has the ability to engage others in conversations and to listen as the way to build political and community coalitions. He is the independent voice to represent Framingham on Beacon Hill.”
-Erica Mash
“Chris brings to Beacon Hill a broad understanding of Framingham’s impact on economic development of the entire MetroWest region. Chris’s vision of Framingham as the “Hub of MetroWest” is spot on. His vision is Framingham focused but is regionally applied. Chris fully appreciates how Framingham's employment opportunities, culturally diverse population, wide range of housing options, transportation alternatives, tax policies and land use regulations interact to further advance sustainable economic growth. His experience, profession, and background provide him with unique leadership skills that enable him to convene those necessary individuals who can work together get the job done. Now, all he needs is the chance to do so.”
-John Stasik
“ What Framingham needs in our state representative is someone who will stand up for our town, and Chris is ready, willing and able to do just that. He has the kind of independent, creative mind needed to help tackle the obstacles ahead. He always finds ways to see the forest, when others can only see the trees. Chris knows that real strength comes when we are working together. We can always count on him to listen to us and help to find common ground for the greater good. He has the passion, dedication, and experience that our town ought to have at the State House. A vote for Chris Walsh is a vote for a brighter future for Framingham. The kind of future we deserve.”
-David Marks
“I discovered early on that Chris is very smart and capable of thinking out-of-the-box, but what impresses me most now is Chris’s leadership qualities. Though he characterized the SMOC lawsuit against the Town a costly mistake for all concerned and was concerned about a violation of First Amendment protections; there is little doubt in my mind that, as our state representative he would have had the leadership skills and will to ensure that the differing sides would have come to terms and the case would probably never have been instituted.”
-Mel Warshaw
“I am voting for Chris Walsh for State Representative because he offers fresh ideas to the issues that are important to Framingham and Massachusetts. Chris is an independant and creative thinker with the ability to listen to and understand multiple perspectives. That is a rare trait on Beacon Hill and would serve Framingham well."
-Bob Berman
