We are the Bolton Democrats, fighting for a sustainable, fiscally responsible, and safe town for us and our children.
We stand for improving town services and infrastructure as a way to attract new residents and businesses. Under Republican leadership, the town has delayed or ignored addressing critical infrastructure issues. Now those issues are blocking our ability to expand the town’s tax base by attracting new businesses and residents. Smart growth will make our town more affordable to live in.
We pledge to focus on government efficiency and innovation and commit to transparent communication and accountability. Under Republican leadership, the town mismanaged tax billings and failed to communicate transparently about the effects of budgets on your taxes. Accountability starts with clear communication and a willingness to listen to the concerns and ideas of townspeople. Financial management must include aggressive pursuit of grants and alternate funding sources.
We support community discourse and open-minded exploration of how best to safeguard the public education of our children. Under Republican leadership, the public reputation of the Bolton Public Schools has suffered. Enrollment continues to decline. Our schools are the beating heart of our community, and a high-quality education is essential to Bolton’s long-term health.
