Neighborhood Council Meeting on Monday Night; Candidate Introductions

The NEWNC meeting on Monday, May 13 will feature candidate introductions. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Nazzaro Center. Senator Joe Boncore and Friends of Cutillo Park will be providing updates while Speak for the Trees will be the focus of our Community Chat. A full agenda is shown below.

The nomination papers are in and the North End / Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) has announced the candidates running in this year’s election. There are seven candidates that will be on the ballot to fill the six open spots. They are as follows:

Damien DiPaola* (1 Lathrop Place)
Tania Green* (20 Margaret)
Carmine Guarino* (22 Thacher)
Sean Hennessey* (187 North)
Ashley Leo* (39 Commercial Wharf)
Tina Natale* (161 Salem)
Mike Salvati (61 Prince)
*Incumbent

The 2019 NEWNC election is set for Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nazzaro Center (30 N. Bennet Street). The ballot order will be selected at random prior to the regularly scheduled meeting. All North End residents 18 and older may vote in the annual NEWNC election.

The 6 candidates with the highest vote totals will serve a 2-year term and join the 5 candidates already on the council: Patrick Bova, Jody Faller, John Pregmon, Brett Roman, and Marie Simboli, who were elected in 2018. The remaining seat remains unoccupied until next year’s election so the council will have 11 members following this upcoming election.
