    "For the 12 years I have lived in Arlington, Jim has always been my representative – he has truly represented my positions on the issues we both care about: economic justice, care for the environment, access for the disenfranchised, support for cities and towns. He has also demonstrated the kind of integrity and political courage often in short supply these days. In the House he has stood up to the arbitrary exercise of power when that has been necessary, no matter the professional or political cost.
