Town Meeting Member, Precinct 6

In just over two months, on April 9, Dedham will see one of its larger elections as six out of the seven precincts will be voting for their 39 representatives to Town Meeting. Perhaps even more important on that day is your vote for the Select Board, which I urge you to cast for Erin Boles Welsh.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Erin over the past few years. While I am continuously impressed by the breadth of Erin’s experience, I am inspired by her passion to improve Dedham for all its residents. Having worked professionally for over 20 years in policy making, public health, government and advocacy roles at the state level, Erin wants to take the next step to make Dedham the best possible home for your family, mine, and her own.

Knowing her personally, Erin’s unselfish desire for everyone to succeed motivates me to learn and become more involved.

Erin has served Dedham as a Town Meeting Member, the Chair of the Parent Action Network, and various other groups and committees, and is a fantastic and highly qualified candidate for the Select Board. With a strong commitment to the history of Dedham, Erin wants to use data-informed decision-making to move our town forward; she is dedicated to the community and has a deep respect for all residents’ experiences. I invite you to learn more about Erin at ErinForDedham.com and on Facebook (facebook.com/ErinforDedham).

Local elections matter. Your vote counts. Please make sure you are registered so you can submit a ballot in the town election on April 9. Casting one of your Select Board votes for Erin is the right step to having a responsible, accountable, committed and experienced leader representing us in Dedham.

Thank you.
