  • LETTER: Group of Parents Support Bell-to-Bell Personal Electronic Device Ban in Watertown Schools

    Dear Watertown Community Members: As parents and residents of Watertown, we have closely followed the discussions of the Watertown Public Schools (WPS) PED Task Force regarding personal electronic devices (PEDs) in our schools.

  • LETTER: Resident Endorses Daniel Lander for State Senate

In 2024, I was among the 66% of Watertown voters —and the 71.5% of folks statewide — who voted in favor of a ballot question to finally allow an audit of the State Legislature.
