Shannon Liss-Riordan pledges ‘a path away from involvement in the criminal justice system’ at UTEC discussion

LOWELL — Wednesday morning’s visit by Shannon Liss-Riordan, Democratic candidate for attorney general, brought a stir to UTEC, Lowell’s young adult support network.

The Warren Street facility was the venue for Liss-Riordan’s introduction, tour and interview, where she drew a parallel between the AG’s and UTEC’s roles in addressing crime in Massachusetts.

“As AG I will fight to give people a voice and a hope for a better future,” Liss-Riordan said. “Similar to what UTEC’s mission is, providing a path away from involvement in the criminal justice system.”
