With one week until the election I’d like to share the candidates I’m planning on voting for (or would vote for given the opportunity). This is a dedicated group of Melrosians that I have either had the chance to serve with in City Government or have observed their passion and commitment to delivering for our residents and students. I ask that you consider each of these candidates as well as a Yes vote on the Public Safety Debt Exclusion.

The A&O Committee is back in person tonight at 7. We will discuss and vote on the City's Housing Production Plan. As the Council's representative to the plan's advisory committee, I look forward to a thoughtful discussion with my colleagues about the merits of the plan. If implemented the HPP will provide a variety of housing options to Melrosians both present and future and aim to make Melrose a more inclusive community. Members of the public can find the final text of the plan below:

Last night I took the oath of office for my second term on the Melrose City Council. This has been a first term unlike any other. Over the past two years, I have been inspired by what Melrose can accomplish when we come together during tough times. I look forward to a productive next two years working for the people of Melrose. I am grateful to the voters for granting me another two years to collaborate with 10 awesome council colleagues to move our community forward.
