Lawn Signs for John Mahoney

The committee to elect John Mahoney is looking for locations for lawn signs. If you live in or around the 13th Worcester District, which is Worcester's west side and Paxton, we would like to place a lawn sign in your yard. This is an easy way to support a guy who will be a huge asset for Local 1009 when elected. Please email me with your address and the sign will be placed soon, then removed shortly after the election. I will also be looking for help for the delivery of these signs.

Please spread the word around the stations and if you have any questions contact Mike Papagni E-3 Group 2 or email him at mpapagni@electjohnmahoney.com.
