Ed Thomas announces candidacy for Milton Town Meeting, Precinct 9

My name is Ed Thomas and I am pleased to let you know that I am running for Milton Town Meeting in Precinct 9.

My husband and I love this town, plan to be here for a very long time, and are keen to contribute to this terrific community. Our 2-year old daughter will attend the Milton Public Schools when she is ready for kindergarten.

As a lawyer with a background in land use and real estate development specifically, and working through tough problems to find durable solutions more generally, I will serve you to the best of my ability.

Some things that are important to me include the following:

Listening to you and understanding your concerns (see below on how to reach me). I believe residents should know who their Town Meeting members are and how to get in touch with them.
Ensuring Milton Public Schools can serve all children effectively – with the right infrastructure, staff, and funds to do so. I believe the time is right to invest in increased capacity for the schools.
Supporting smart development to allow young families, working people, and seniors to thrive.
Making our corner of Milton as welcoming, walkable, and well-cared for as possible.
Improving traffic safety on Randolph Avenue.
Making sure our tax dollars are spent in the best ways possible across the town.
Getting to know all of our neighbors and building a strong community.

I have a long history of civic and community engagement, including as a long-term volunteer and community garden leader with the Trustees of Reservations, and representing various towns and government entities in my legal practice.

Please contact me at [email protected] if you would like to discuss any issues you care about that can be addressed at Town Meeting.

Thank you for reading and don’t forget to vote on April 25!
