Candidate highlights housing, pedestrian safety and transparency in Planeville Select Board bid
Summary
A second candidate said Planeville is "struggling" with high costs, pedestrian-safety gaps and limited access to elected officials. They cited experience on the Planeville Housing Authority, union membership and previous service on the seat they seek and named seniors, housing affordability, pedestrian safety and transparency as priorities.
A second candidate said they are running for the Planeville Select Board to address affordability, pedestrian safety and constituent access.
"I'm running for Planeville Select Board because our community is struggling right now," the candidate said, listing the high cost of living, street-safety concerns and difficulty reaching elected officials as central issues.
The candidate said they graduated from Planeville Public and King Phillip Schools and bring experience working in municipal, county and state government. They said they currently serve as treasurer of the Planeville Housing Authority and described union experience with Teamsters Local 25 and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1445.
They identified priorities for the campaign as supporting seniors, expanding housing options and affordability, improving pedestrian-safety measures and increasing transparency and constituent services. The candidate said they previously held the Select Board seat and that the incumbent who beat them last time, identified in the transcript as "Maggie," chose not to run this cycle.
The candidate said they believe they have "the most intellectual knowledge about the town" and presented that as a reason to resume a seat on the board.
