MARCIA SUPPORTS SETTI WARREN FOR MAYOR OF NEWTON

The Newton municipal election on November 3rd has become a pivotal one for the city, with many important races: for Mayor, the Board of Aldermen, and the School Committee.

Marcia and Peg Hannigan, the "Godmother of Newton Politics," have been out campaigning with Setti in the race for Mayor of Newton.

Marcia is campaigning hard for Ward 2 'native son' Setti Warren, because she believes Newton is at a critical decision point and Setti is the best person to lead Newton as Mayor in these very difficult and challenging times. For more information, you can contact Marcia or go to Setti's web site, www.settiwarren.com. Newton needs new leadership and Setti is the person to make it happen!
