Candidate Statement: Darlene Hayes for Hopkinton Housing Authority

By contributor,

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.

Candidate Statement: Jane Moran for Planning Board

By contributor,

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.
