(pick 8)

Carlo A Bacci (Incumbent)
I have had the pleasure of serving P5 for the past 4 years. I serve as a Select Board member and am a liason to many boards and committees. TM is a very important body and I ask for your vote to continue to serve. We are in a very good financial position and I want the opportunity to keep that standing. Elections matter and your voice matters. Carlo Bacci

Adam Denhard (Incumbent)
Though a newer resident, I've committed time to understanding goings-on in the Town as it was a factor in moving here. This diligence prepared me to run for Town Meeting, where I have been an active participant over the last year, since the entire slate was elected anew. My commitment to understanding issues facing the Town, from budget and development to needs of our entire population, young and old, prepare me for re-election to represent Precinct 5.

I support smart sustainable growth, improving our infrastructure, providing safety and security to our youngest, oldest, and most vulnerable neighbors, so the investments we have made in our homes and our community will continue to grow. -

Mary M Parr (Incumbent)
I am running for re-election as I’m most interested in the future of children: schools, library, climate, health and safety. Specifically, we need a new Killam School that meets the anticipated needs of all its pupils and teachers for the future, we need to protect and provide access to our town lands and I want to see our downtown area to have safe walkways for everyone year round. I want downtown to be beautiful and welcoming to new residents, to small businesses, prioritizing pedestrians.

Lorraine Anne Conway
I am a 30 year resident of Reading, currently running for my third term as a Town Meeting Member. I have been involved in many organizations, including as a past board member on PTO and Young Women’s League. I believe that an effective Town Meeting Member needs to be able to put taxpayers first when deciding issues that come before us. We must always remember that we are representing everyone in our precinct. I pledge to do that, and would be honored if you choose to vote for me. Thank you.

I have lived in Reading since 2013 and have loved raising my two kids here. I'm hoping to join Town Meeting to help Reading continue to thrive as a community. I'm an elementary school teacher, a good listener, and a natural problem solver. I care about ensuring that Reading Schools have the resources they need, finding ways to use public space for the greatest good, and making sure that all people in Reading have their voices heard.
