Hello Wrentham voters, my name is Jim Anderson and I’m running for re-election to the Wrentham Board of Selectmen. I’m asking for your vote on Election Day, Monday, April 5th.
During my time on the Board of Selectmen, as policymakers we participate in the financial management of the town, provide balanced budgets, develop a five-year Capital plan, review economic development projects, we modernized best practices in town government by adding a human resource administrator, a facilities manager and provided leadership to the Town’s most important assts, its employees.
I am thoroughly invested in the Town of Wrentham, having raised my family here, and enjoyed my 35-year career with the fine men and women of the Wrentham Police Department. Throughout my career, I was privileged to fulfill my career goal to rise through the ranks and lead the Wrentham Police Department. As Chief, I dealt with many challenges and in spite of those challenges, I always focused on the positive, finding solutions, resolving conflicts, dealing with critical incidents and leading was part of my everyday life in police work. I continue to bring those skills to the Board of Selectmen.
During my last few months as Chief of Police, I also served as an interim town administrator for the Town of Wrentham. In both positions I dealt with every department in town, including the selectmen, finance committee, capital budget committee, planning board, and attended annual town meetings. I feel as though I have a good handle on town government, budgets and deep institutional knowledge of the community.
Regardless of the different roles I’ve played in Wrentham, I always strived to accomplish what’s best for the town I love, including a great school system, responsive public safety departments, recreation facilities, and a town government that truly represents the people of Wrentham.
My combined lifetime experience will serve me well as a member of the Board of Selectmen. I promise to focus on continued growth of our local economy which generates much needed revenue for the Town while also maintaining Wrentham’s charm which is what attracts people here in the first place.
I am asking for you to support my leadership, vision, and candidacy for re-election to the Board of Selectmen seat on Monday, April 5th and I look forward to serving the residents of Wrentham for another three years.
All in with Jim,
Jim Anderson
