She is a single mother of one and a former welfare recipient, and lives in subsidized housing in Salem. In 2002, Heather ran for State Representative against the longest serving Democrat at the State House and remains active as a member of our local steering committee.
	Lucy, a Latina single mother of three, got involved with N2N-MA through the Point Neighborhood Association that we started in her community. In November of 2003, she was elected to the Salem City Council, making her our first volunteer leader to win public office. Over 50 volunteers got involved with the campaign, electing Lucy with 60% of the vote over the legislative aide of conservative State Representative Mike Ruane. Lucy currently sits on our Board of Directors.

Since then, he has worked on our fair tax campaigns, gone door-to-door, and spoke on the radio and on television about issues affecting struggling working families. Javier is a steering committee member of the Point Neighborhood Association and served on our statewide elections committee in 2002. He lives in subsidized housing in Salem, with his wife and five children, and currently serves on our Board of Directors.
