Letter to the Editor in Support of Paul Brodeur

The decision of who will be our next mayor will have a lasting impact on our community for years to come, thus it is imperative to consider the experience, integrity and vision of those hoping to lead our city. Paul Brodeur is the most qualified candidate and here's why.

Paul has extensive experience at both the local and state level. A former President of the Board of Aldermen, including 9 years on the board, he is not only well versed on issues that impact city residents today, he also has a detailed plan to lead Melrose into the future. As our current state representative, he has worked with elected officials from across the state and has seen first-hand how cities can collaborate to solve regional problems and deliver local services in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

If you have ever spent any time with Paul, you know that he is extremely open and approachable, and you immediately recognize that he cares about his neighbors and community. He is a good listener who will always go the extra mile in trying to solve problems. He wants to continue to make a difference for the community he and his family love.

Whether you are a long-time resident of Melrose or new to the community, please take a close look at Paul's record of accomplishments and the fresh ideas he has for leading Melrose into the future.

I believe his experience, leadership, and commitment make him the strongest candidate in this year’s mayoral race, and I enthusiastically encourage members of the Melrose community to select Paul Brodeur as our next mayor.
