A resident of Tewksbury for 15 years, my wife Debbie and I have two daughters in the Tewksbury school system. I am a network engineer at Northeastern University where I graduated with Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Prior to moving to John Street in 2003 we lived at Merrimack Meadows Lane where I served on the Board of Trustees. When the School Committee was looking for volunteers to serve on the Budget Advisory Committee in 2008, I had the opportunity to be one of the members representing the Heath Brook School. In 2009 there was an opening on the Finance Committee due to a resignation and I was appointed to complete the expiring term. In 2010 I was reappointed to a 3-year term and I have been the liaison to the School Committee…

Tewksbury Voters: My name is Todd Johnson. I have been honored to serve you as a selectman for the past six years. During those two terms, I was selected by my colleagues to serve as their chairman four consecutive years. I believe that is a reflection of their confidence in my leadership abilities. I assumed my duties during the difficult economic times we have come to know as the “Great Recession”. The impact of these conditions on our local government was profound, requiring vision, discipline, and hard work. Due to resignations of various colleagues, there was a time when you were served by only three selectmen, not the usual five. I, along with two colleagues, worked hard to ensure all of our duties were discharged on your …

Seventh person takes out nomination papers for the Board of Selectmen.
A race that looked like it would have an empty slot on the Tewksbury Municipal Election ballot has taken an interesting turn. According to information provided by Town Clerk Denise Graffeo, two new potential candidates have thrown their hats into the ring for seats on the Tewksbury School Committee. Raymond Lisiecki and Lisa Puccia both took out nomination papers last week for the two available seats on the committee. With incumbent Krissy Polimeno already officially on the ballot, there could be a contested Tewksbury School Committee election for the first time in three years. Incumbent Joseph Russell announced two weeks ago that he will not be seeking another term. Puccia was unsuccessful in a race for School Committee in 2010 and had …

Two-term incumbent says she made her announcement now to open the door to potential candidates.
Anne Marie Stronach has announced she will not be seeking a third term to the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen. First elected in 2007, Stronach said she doesn't feel she can make the commitment needed to serve the community for another three-year term. Stronach made the announcement at the conclusion of the board's meeting on Nov. 27. She said she was making the announcement at an early date to give potential candidates as much time as possible to consider running in 2013. "It is my hope that by announcing this tonight, other residents will consider the opportunity to represent our residents as it is an incredibly rewarding and positive experience," she said. "I would encourage anyone who has the drive or the ability to lead us forward, add …
