Endorsement Spotlight
Endorsed by
Andrea Kelley
At-Large City Councilor and Vice-Chair of the Land Use Committee
Andrea says, “Dan Gaynor brings a breath of fresh air to local politics. Growing up in Newton—with his father as an example of civic participation by being an Alderman—life led him to work for Barack Obama and Joe Biden in DC. Professionally, he analyzes data to make policy decisions and measure effectiveness. What I most like about Dan is his positive attitude and collaborative approach, which will be excellent additions to the City Council.”

Rick says, "A third-generation Newton resident and data-driven business owner, Dan will bring a pragmatic approach to the City Council. His approach is about asking voters informed questions—and acting on the answers. From potholes to policy, Dan will foster a collaborative atmosphere on the City Council, and deliver real results for our neighbors."
