Cash, a lifelong resident of Braintree and a veteran of the local fire department, introduced himself, highlighting his background in landscaping and the nursery industry. He expressed his desire to serve the community further through this role. Council members voiced their support, with Councilor Reynolds endorsing Cash as a strong candidate due to his reputable business and commitment to maintaining the town's trees.
