Shrewsbury Board of Selectman candidate, John Samia has the professional experience, proven record as a Selectman and the skills necessary to meet the challenges faced by the Town of Shrewsbury.
I had the pleasure of serving with John during his tenure on the Shrewsbury School Committee and appreciated his deep understanding of the complexities of town government, his balanced approach to budgets, and his passion for providing services to all students.
The Fiscal Year 2022 budget was extremely challenging, and John took the lead in collaborating with other town officials and residents to develop a long-term financial plan that provided much needed funding for school and municipal services, and the creation of a stabilization fund to provide predictable budgets and strong financial management for at least the next four years, if not longer. He has a strong business acumen, understands legal issues, and provides cost-effective solutions.
John was instrumental in the formation of a monthly working group consisting of two Board of Selectman members, two School Committee members, and the Town Manager and School Superintendent to discuss issues and address questions. This resulted in an invaluable opportunity to collaborate and work on long term solutions.
John listens to all points of view and carefully considers information and makes decisions in the best interest of the entire community. He is forward thinking and has the experience, knowledge, and passion to continue to make Shrewsbury a great place to live for all citizens.
Please vote for John Samia.
