We are proud to announce that we will be endorsing Jayne Wellman for a second term on Tewksbury’s Select Board. We have both had the privilege of working with Jayne over the past decade and can fully vouch for her strength of character, dedication, effectiveness, and determination when it comes to doing the right thing for the Town of Tewksbury.

As a current member and Vice-Chair of the Select Board, Jayne has worked diligently on ensuring initiatives come to fruition. In addition to her current position on the Select Board, Jayne also served on Tewksbury’s School Committee as well as serving as the towns first female Town Moderator where she again did an exemplary job in both these roles.

Jayne has always maintained and continues each role with a very positive and friendly attitude towards all. She is a doer and gets the job done, not for the glory or a pat on the back, but for the real reason, to ensure Tewksbury is a great place to live for all its current and future residents.

We ask that you please join us in VOTING for Jayne Wellman to Tewksbury’s Select Board on Saturday, April 2nd, 2022.

Sincerely,

There are many solid candidates running for the Tewksbury Planning Board. Each candidate brings something to the table – different backgrounds, levels of experience, and areas of expertise. That said, I believe the incumbent, Mr. Jay Delaney, has a proven track record that merits strong consideration for re-election.

If you watch Mr. Delaney in-action, there are few that are as heartfelt and spirited than Jay. With experience, wisdom, and a passion that is hard to match - please consider re-electing Mr. Jay Delaney to the Planning Board on Saturday April 2nd.

Thank you & I do wish all the candidates best of luck!

Jay Kelly
