WESTFORD — The Westford League of Women Voters will be hosting their February civic social on Feb. 26 at WestfordCAT’s studio on Groton Road.

League members will host Aricero’s staff director Anita Tonakarn–Nguyen, who will share an insider’s perspective on what a staff director does behind the scenes, how legislation and budget priorities are shaped, the role of transportation policy in the region and how state-level decisions affect Westford residents.

Civic socials are held by the League every month and are opened to the public.

The League said they are designed to help residents stay informed about local and state issues in a welcoming setting, inviting any members of the public who are interested in learning about how legislative decisions impact Westford.

Someone should ask him why MA is losing it’s population of young professionals and replacing them with undocumented immigrants. It might have something to do with it being a totally Democrat party run state.
