I have met all four candidates, state Rep. Sheila Harrington, former State Trooper Dennis Galvin, housewife and activist Georjann McGaha and state employee and activist Jordan Gys. All are solid Republicans and each is worthy of our vote, but we are down to having to pick one committeewoman and one committeeman.

I have thought about this since this race began and have concluded that my choices are Georjann McGaha and Jordan Gys.

Since I have been chairman of the Lowell Republican City Committee, we have been represented to the State Committee by people from the suburbs. It is time to change that relationship. Georjann McGaha, who has lived in the suburbs before moving to Lowell, is now an active member of our City Committee. She is an active worker for Republican values, including the effort to halt putting our gas tax on autopilot, rather than having increases voted by our representatives on Beacon Hill, as is proper.

I trust Georjann to represent us to the State Committee and state organization.

On the other hand, Jordan Gys, who shares our Republican values and is helping to build our local organization, is close to the State Committee and can help us understand what is going on down in Boston.

For State Committee, Georjann McGaha and Jordan Gys.
