Councilor At-Large Candidate Q&A: Susan Falkoff

Susan Falkoff seeks re-election as Town Councilor At-Large in the Nov. 3 election. Watertown News asked candidates a series of questions. 1) If elected, what will you make your top priority for the first six months of your term?

We have a lot of issues that Watertown is facing and are deserving of being top priorities.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in support of Lisa Feltner’s campaign for District B Town Councilor. Lisa has my vote on November 3rd along with my heartfelt endorsement for her candidacy. I first met Lisa 11 years ago when our kids, now high school sophomores, were in kindergarten at Hosmer School. We were both involved parents in the school, so I soon got to know Lisa well.
