LETTER: Candidate Seeks to Continue His Work on the Town Council

By |

(Watertown News will accept Election Related letters until Oct. 31.)

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.

Councilor At-Large Candidate Q&A: Susan Falkoff

By |

Susan Falkoff seeks re-election as Town Councilor At-Large in the Nov. 3 election. Watertown News asked candidates a series of questions. 1) If elected, what will you make your top priority for the first six months of your term? If I have to pick just one I will say Residential Design Standards since the ball is already rolling on that and I will want to pay close attention.

Watertown News asked candidates a series of questions. 1) If elected, what will you make your top priority for the first six months of your term? Given the many ways in which we can do so much better on so many issues, I’m not going to confine myself to a single priority. We have a lot of issues that Watertown is facing and are deserving of being top priorities.

Library Trustee Candidates Talk About Issues Facing the Library

By |

Candidates have been coming out in droves for the 2015 Watertown Election and the Library Board of Trustees is no exception. The candidates appeared at the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum on Sunday. The three of the four Library Trustees candidates on the Nov. 3 ballot attended the forum, but current trustee Timothy Tracy could not attend because of a conflict with a fundraiser for his family’s foundation. The candidates were asked how the Watertown Free Public Library could better spread the word about all of its programs and events.
