To the Editor:

I was surprised to read in your last issue’s endorsement section some statements which are simply not true. Here’s the truth about two of them:

1. Constituent service is a top priority in my office, as many hundreds of Somerville residents can attest.

2. I don’t get involved in other legislators’ elections and am not supporting any candidate running against my colleagues in the legislature.

State Rep. Patricia D. Jehlen, D-Somerville
