Advocacy Through Baseball: Senator Brewer

Massachusetts State Senator, Stephen M. Brewer, who serves the Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin District, leaves Larry on the mound after throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the baseball game commemorating the 350th anniversary of the Quabog Plantation on the North Brookfield common.

Although I have known Senator Brewer for years, he took the time to cut out an article about my baseball story from the Boston Globe and mail it to me, along with a very nice personal letter. 

Senator Brewer is a consummate politician. He attends countless events throughout the year, and is always willing to listen, and advocates in the State Senate for many of the wishes of his constituency. As good advocates for what we believe in, we need to get to know our local politicians, our state reps and state senators and our congressional representatives and senators. It takes time, and dedication, and commitment, but if we seek results, this is the kind of advocacy that is absolutely necessary.
