District 5 needs new representation on the Town Council, the only town government body who are directly responsible to us, the voters. With the face of Watertown changing at breakneck speed and our quality of life, neighborhoods and property at stake, we need a Town Councilor who will interact and respond to constituents. Lisa Feltner has worked tirelessly for Watertown as a private citizen and as head of the Concerned Citizens Group. She provided invaluable help to North Beacon Neighbors for our negotiations with Athena Health’s proposed garage and other changes to the Arsenal on the Charles over the past year.

Dear friends and neighbors,
When I first ran for Town Council, as the parent of a third grader at the Lowell School, I laid out a clear set of goals to achieve and core values to guide me. I continue to stand by those goals and values today as I run for reelection. My vision for Watertown is a vibrant, diverse, safe community with pretty tree-lined streets and great schools. My top priorities have been, and continue to be, robust school funding, street & sidewalk reconstruction, and managing development & traffic.
