Hartman: A ‘balanced and collaborative approach’

March 28, 2025

Ever met someone who is always one step ahead in anticipating what is best for Concord?  That person is Mary Hartman.

Mary collaborates with Concord residents to create solutions for our shared problems… and also our shared dreams.

When Concordians were both awed and maybe a bit intimidated by the potential for MCI-Concord site, Mary convened a strong and balanced advisory committee to define the best use for this amazing site.

When Concordians were looking for new ways to generate revenue, Mary worked with town staff to develop a policy that asks our tax-exempt organizations to pay toward the cost of services provided to them by the town.

When Concordians were hoping for better collaboration between the Finance Committee and the School Committee, Mary hosted joint meetings to begin conversations to prioritize and time future capital spending.

Concord needs Mary’s balanced and collaborative approach to solving the many, complex issues facing our town.

Please join me in voting to re-elect Mary Hartman.
