I am incredibly grateful for the trust and support that residents placed in me on Election Day.
This campaign was built on conversations with neighbors, thoughtful questions, spirited discussions, and a shared commitment to Marblehead's future. Throughout the process, I was continually inspired by the level of engagement from residents who care deeply about our schools, town services, finances, and the long-term strength of our community.
The passage of Question 3 reflects a community that was willing to engage in difficult conversations and invest in our future. I am thankful to everyone who took the time to learn about the issues, attend meetings, ask questions, and participate in the democratic process.
To everyone who volunteered, displayed signs, donated, offered advice, encouraged me along the way, or simply took the time to vote: thank you. This result was only possible because of your support and commitment to our town.
While I am honored by the outcome, I view Election Day not as the end of a campaign, but as the beginning of the work ahead. Residents placed their trust in us, and now we must deliver on the commitments we made. I am committed to approaching that responsibility with transparency, collaboration, and a focus on doing what is best for Marblehead and our schools.
Thank you again for the opportunity to serve. I am excited to get to work.
With gratitude,
Melissa Clucas
