Statement from Congressman Tierney
Peabody, MA – Congressman John Tierney released the following statement in response to today’s announcement by the Special Joint Committee on Redistricting.
“The Special Joint Committee on Redistricting had a difficult job to do and it is gratifying to learn that they were responsive to the many people who attended their public hearing and sent in communications asking that the existing 6th district communities be kept together. The commonality of interests, shared experiences, contiguous boundaries and the area's history made a compelling case for why the district is too important to separate and everyone who helped present that case can be proud of these successful efforts. The residents of Billerica, Tewksbury and a part of Andover will recognize a lot of commonality with other Sixth District communities. I look forward to becoming acquainted with new neighbors, meeting with existing friends there, and listening to people's concerns and ideas. I thank the State Legislators for their hard work.”
