Letter to the Editor: State Representative McMurtry Supports Congressman Lynch for Senate

I have witnessed firsthand Congressman Lynch’s commitment to our community in his service to our mutual constituents; he is a man of honesty and integrity.

Dear Editor, On Tuesday, April 30 voters will have an opportunity to select a Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. I am supporting Congressman Stephen Lynch to be our next U.S. Senator.

  With Tuesday's official nomination of U.S. Senator John Kerry to the post of Secretary of State, the field is opening up with folks vying for Kerry's seat in his unexpired term in the U.S. Senate. But before that even happens an interim senator has to be named.
