Government

Late in May, we got some good news as Governor Baker announced the beginning of Phase 1 of Massachusetts' reopening plan!

We are actively planning how we will meet the state's new workplace safety standards so library staff can return to the building. The standards are detailed, and it will take us some time to plan and implement new ways of working. We are approaching this with caution and deliberation - our first priority is to do our best to ensure that staff (and, eventually, patrons) are as safe as possible.

I decided to run for a seat on the Hopkinton Housing Authority Board and hope you will consider voting for me. I have been a resident of Hopkinton since 1995 who has previously served on the Friends of the Seniors for several years and as a Library Trustee.

In 2013 & 2014, I became more associated with the needs for greater community support at the Housing Authority when my son did his Eagle Scout project there. Since then, I have gotten to know several of the residents and realized this community needs greater advocacy for services.

My name is Lya Batlle-Rafferty and I am running for School Committee.

In our current climate of growth in the school system, budget expansion, and enrollment projection challenges, I believe that the ideal candidate is one who has prior experience with school boards as well as data analysis and financial management.

My name is Jane Moran and I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Hopkinton Planning Board as an (U) unenrolled candidate.

I moved to Hopkinton in the 1970’s when the population was around 8,000 citizens and it wasn’t long before I was volunteering in leadership roles in my children’s activities: (H)PTA, Girl Scouts, 4-H, Boy Scouts to name a few. It was easy to realize even then that Hopkinton was and continues to be a high-quality community because of the outstanding quality of its volunteers. Now we are close to 18,000 residents and still growing.
