WESTFIELD – Kevin Medeiros is seeking an At-large seat on the Westfield City Council because, he said, he can bring common sense to the table.
“I can make a little more common sense out of the Thursday night meetings,” said Medeiros.
Medeiros also brings to the table many years of experience working with Westfield schools and fundraising for the schools. His efforts at Southampton Road School alone helped purchase Smart Boards, a playscape and a gymnasium renovation.
Now, Medeiros wants to expand his efforts as an At-large councilor who works for the citizens.
“I talk to residents all day long and they know their concerns are falling on deaf ears,” he said. Road conditions and inflated projects are just two examples of issues residents have spoken about.
“The streets are terrible and filled with potholes. Construction in the Gas Light District seems to be repetitive. We can’t agree on sex offender legislation in this city. Why can’t we settle on new bases for the baseball field? Everything is put off for another night,” said Medeiros.
Medeiros said he would bring the constituents’ concerns to the council, not his personal agenda.
“Councilors should deal with constituents,” Medeiros said, “When was the last time one of them arbitrarily called a constituent?”
Medeiros said he is able to serve the city and would be a “constituent-friendly, sensitive” councilor.
