I write in support of Kyla McSweeney for Select Board.
Kyla not only has the public policy background needed to serve as a Select Board member, she also has the character to excel in this role. As a Girl Scout leader over the past 6 years, Kyla has exemplified what it means to be a Girl Scout - to be honest and fair, considerate and caring, and responsible for what she says and does.
This year’s select board election has four excellent candidates for Hopkinton residents to choose from.
All with talents, experiences, and energy our town will benefit from. Peter Mimmo stands out as a candidate with the legal and social negotiating skills our town needs in these divisive times. He brings experience, hope, and strength in his spirited message of optimism. I strongly endorse Peter Mimmo‘s candidacy and know this town will benefit greatly from his professional background and dedicated heart to make Hopkinton live up to its full potential.
Janet M. Stewart, 87, of Hopkinton passed away May 14, 2024. She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Richard C. Stewart; her parents, William F. Pyne and Helene (McGrail) Pyne, and her brothers, William and Robert Pyne.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Kyla McSweeney for sometime, and pleasantly witnessed her consistent dedication to our community and deep commitment to our town. A successful marathoner, Kyla has demonstrated unwavering dedication in many town activities and initiatives, from Hopkinton Running Club to Hopkinton Cemetery Commission.
I am happy to endorse Peter Mimmo for the Select Board, a candidate who reflects unique experience and qualities we need. Peter’s understanding of our town’s critical issues, his professional legal experience and expertise and deep-rooted commitment to public service makes him the ideal candidate and the right choice for Hopkinton for this critical time.
Like many residents of Hopkinton, we moved to this town with our four kids for the excellent schools. Since 2011, Hopkinton has been our home, and we enjoy the wonderful community and opportunities the town provides.
I know Peter Mimmo to be a man devoted to family and community; present and responsive at community events; respectful, speaking with you on your own level. Also of primary note, actively engaged in addressing pressing environmental issues facing the town.
Open and personable, he’s often seen walking in the neighborhood with his wife, son, and little pup “Logan”.
The Hopkinton Police Department recognized "National Police Week" in a series of social media posts, which can be seen below.
"In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others."
