Newly elected Sudbury Public Schools Committee member Scott Nassa offers thanks to those in town who voted for him and helped with his campaign.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped and supported me during my campaign for the Sudbury Public School Committee. I could not have possibly done it without every single one of their efforts. Whether it was a sign placement, letter of endorsement, spreading the word to friends and neighbors, words of encouragement or support at the polls - I will always be grateful to each and every person who supported me and consider them my friend. In addition, I would also like to thank my opponent Matthew Barach for a well-run race.

Vote passes overwhelmingly for a second time, 1,936-625.
Opponents of Sudbury’s movement to increase the Board of Selectmen from three to five members were defeated a second time when voters Monday approved the addition of two seats during Annual Town Election. After voting to approve the measure in September last year during Special Town Meeting, opponents in town, which included current Board Chair Larry O’Brien, asked the State Legislature to overturn the ruling. It was overturned and the town was told to vote again via ballot. After Monday’s vote, the only thing left is to ask who wants to run for the two new seats? “I'm incredibly pleased the people of Sudbury chose to make this important change, that they again expressed their desire for more representation, and again called for more …

Annual Town Election is today and resident Alison Whitebone shares who she's voting for for Sudbury Public Schools Committee.
It is with great enthusiasm that I support Matt Barach's candidacy for the Sudbury School Committee in the March town election. Matt is an active listener. He hears all sides, asks solid questions, and then suggests logical and creative solutions. I have witnessed Matt helping his clients solve difficult problems and developing new organizational systems when needed. Matt believes in giving everyone a voice and supports 3-5. He works with a wide spectrum of our town – inspiring our town soccer players, negotiating as a trustworthy lawyer, and serving on the Land Acquisition Review Committee. Matt wants all Sudbury students to achieve their highest potential and he has the experience and knowledge to help Sudbury achieve this mission. He …

As we enter the last week of our local election cycle, I would like to take a moment to encourage my fellow Sudbury citizens to take time to vote this Monday, March 25.

We write in support of the candidacy of Matthew Barach for the Sudbury Public School Committee. The education of children is one of the highest priorities of any community.

Resident Prema Matthews says Nassa will bring a refreshing approach to the Sudbury Public Schools Committee.
I am endorsing Scott Nassa for Sudbury Public Schools Committee (SPSC). Scott has been a friend of mine since he moved to Sudbury. That is not why you should vote for him. Vote Scott Nassa for SPSC because he is the more qualified candidate for the position and the future of our town and schools depends on it. Scott is responsible, accountable and dependable. In his announcement letter he has stated he will be available to all of us with office hours. This is a new and refreshing approach to the very people, the stakeholders, he is elected to serve and represent. Scott has been extremely successful in his professional life as a businessman. We need a businessperson with a solid grasp of the economic responsibilities the SPSC holds to all …

Hey So01776 - Scott's done a super job of articulating his own position of things. His "Stakeholders" charter seems pretty full and will likely require continued support from his constituency. Maybe keep the derisive, mean spirited and spiteful personal attacks for your own 1:1 conversations, or better yet not at all. There's already enough bad blood on the mat, let's not worry about former … more ›
