Lou Spadaccini

Manchester Police Local 1495 announced their endorsement of Republican Directors Matt Peak, Lou Spadaccini, and Cheri Pelletier today.

 ”We are pleased to receive the support of Manchester Police Local 1495,” said Lou Spadaccini.  “This clearly shows that our message of accountability, fiscal responsibility, and quality of life has broad appeal to people of all walks of life.”

 Director Cheri Pelletier continued, “We are committed to increasing the number of police officers on the street and doing everything we can to support our police officers.  Their endorsement is a welcome sign of support.”

Director Matt Peak concluded, “We are appreciative of this support.  It shows that the confidence in our ability to lead is growing.”

Jim Farrell from the Hartford Courant had an excellent article recently about the art of doing doors, featuring our own candidates Cheri Pelletier and Lou Spadaccini.

“But for every one of those, there are 10 who say they are glad you stopped by,” said Louis Spadaccini, a Republican seeking re-election to Manchester’s board of directors. “And that’s what keeps you going.”

Spadaccini is running for the sixth time and estimates that he knocks on 3,000 to 5,000 doors each campaign.

“And I’m on pace to do more this year than any other year because the weather’s been so good,” he said.”

Spadaccini said he dresses casually but never wears sneakers, shorts or jeans. He has never been bitten by a dog. When people offer him a bottle of water or soda, he usually politely declines. Most conversations are short, he said, but sometimes people will gab for 30 minutes.”

MANCHESTER - The Republican candidates for the Board of Directors, Matt Peak, Lou Spadaccini, Cheri Pelletier, Jeff Beckman, Rob Desilet, and Mark Tweedie put on a strong showing last night at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Debate.  “It was a clear victory for the Republican team,” said Republican Town Committee Chair Wally Irish.

The debate ranged over a host of topics, including public safety, taxes and spending, the textbook loan program, downtown development, and open space preservation.  Time and time again, the Republican team emphasized the values of accountability, fiscal responsibility, and quality of life. 

The debate, which lasted just over two hours, was held at the Lincoln Center hearing room on Tuesday evening.
