Citing the “critical economic challenges facing Milton in the coming months and years” and the need for “an independent and effective voice for our neighborhoods,” Mike Zullas has announced his bid for re-election as a Town Meeting Member from Precinct 3.

Zullas, who resides at 69 Fairbanks Road with his wife Marianne and two young daughters, says that during his service on the Town’s Warrant Committee and Capital Improvements Planning Committee over the last few years he has had to grapple with the effects of the economic downtown on the Town’s finances and services. Zullas believes that Milton’s responses to the current challenges will shape the community’s future – not only in the coming months and years, but for the ensuing decades: “Just as we are the beneficiaries of the steps taken by our Milton forebears in years past,” he said, “So too must we ensure that our children and grandchildren enjoy the fruits of the decisions that we make today – safe neighborhoods, good schools, and efficiently run Town services.”

A graduate of Williams College and Vanderbilt Law School, Zullas has worked in the public sector as a prosecutor in the Attorney General’s public corruption unit and in the private sector with both small businesses and multi-national corporations as a lawyer. He said that “the breadth of these professional experiences, along with my roles as husband and father, help shape my service as a Town Meeting Member.”

Zullas noted that in this redistricting year Precinct 3 voters will face a ballot with 32 names, and he asked that they consider scrolling down to the 25th name on the ballot when casting their votes. “I would welcome the opportunity to continue to serve as a voice for our neighborhoods,” he said, “And I respectfully ask for one of your votes for Town Meeting Member on Tuesday, April 24.”
