As a father of two, Marc believes that Government should not supersede a parents rights to make decision for their child's health and education. That is why when Representative Lombardo saw 15 year old Justina Pelletier wrongful ripped from the loving arms of her parents Lou and Linda and placed in DCF custody for 16 months, Lombardo stepped to action. Partnering with Representative Jim Lyons of Andover, Marc challenged DCF and the Administration and got Justina back to her family where she belonged. Calling it "one of the most rewarding efforts" of my life, Marc wants to ensure that Government doesn't ever inappropriate interfere in the relationship of Billerica Families.
