Weston, MA – The day after the September primary, Caroline Colarusso, Republican challenger to Congresswoman Katherine Clark (MA-5), appeared in Weston, to participate in a candidate forum hosted by the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC). Caroline Colarusso answered questions from the people of the district, while Katherine Clark, who failed to acknowledge the invitation from the national senior organization, was a "no-show." Colarusso sat at the forum table next to an empty seat and an accompanying name card that read Katherine Clark. Yet on the very same day, Congresswoman Clark posted on her Facebook page that she was in Woburn, just 12 miles from the Weston venue. "It is completely unacceptable that Congresswoman Clark was unwilling to drive from Woburn to Weston to participate in our candidate forum.," said Colarusso. "Last month,, Katherine Clark found time to travel with a congressional delegation to Africa, to discuss climate change initiatives. Over Labor Day weekend, she was in the city of Boston, miles outside the district she represents, to participate in a labor rally. It is crystal clear that Congresswoman Clark is not focused on serving the people of her own district because she is interested in raising her global and national political profile." Colarusso told the Weston gathering, "Congresswoman Clark is blatantly ignoring her voters. This speaks volumes to her arrogance. She takes the voters for granted and she has no obligation to answer to the voters of her district. It's a slap in the face to taxpayers, and it's wrong." Colarusso told the crowd Rep. Clark is hiding from her constituents. "Why is she afraid to answer questions pertaining to record inflation, crippling energy costs, school choice, social security, and Medicare? Katherine Clark, where are you?To learn more about the Caroline Colarusso for Congress campaign visit ColarussoforCongress.com
