A New Voice!

February 7, 2018 By Carole

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I hinted at a new adventure? Well, hold onto your hats because it’s announcement day!

That’s right, I am running for selectman in my town! I’m super excited about this opportunity to serve my community in a valuable and important way and these days it’s all about making lists, preparing to discuss my position on local issues, and getting ready to hit the campaign trail.

The election is exactly 2 months from today and this is my official announcement:

I am excited to announce my candidacy for Selectman in the Town of East Bridgewater. I care deeply about this community and want to bring a new voice to our town government, a voice that will be positive and enthusiastic, a voice that will speak up for this community, a voice that will promote the will of the people. There will be many issues that arise and decisions to be made in the next three years and I believe that my extensive background in the public sector makes me uniquely qualified to work with the other selectmen, the town administrator, and the boards and committees in our town to make East Bridgewater an active and vibrant place to live. I look forward to running a positive campaign, meeting citizens, listening to your concerns, and tackling challenges. I invite you to visit The Committee to Elect Carole Julius for Selectman or the committee’s Facebook page to learn more about my background and qualifications. Thank you.

I’ve thought about running for years and now seems like the perfect time to take this leap. I’ve got the full support of Dale, my family and friends have already started to help in any way possible, and, as the expression goes, I’m in it to win it!

    Congratulations on your decision to run for public office! I work as a township manager for a small but busy municipality and trying to get more women in elected and appointed positions is a big priority for me. It’s so exciting! I can’t wait to hear the results in April. Now get out there knocking on doors and kissing those babies! 🙂

    Wow, Carole, this is exciting! You will be such a positive influence on local government. Your attitude is so positive, and as most women, you will see many more sides of the issues than most men do, and I am confident that you will always do the right thing. YES, I know that from watching your blog for many years. Your town will be so lucky to have you! Congratulations and my very best wishes.
