CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 When our family home was lost to a fire 12 years ago, the community rallied around us, helping us get back on our feet. My family’s experience of housing insecurity and my deep gratitude for the community’s support guides my commitment to serve my neighbors even to this day. At the beginning of this campaign, we conducted a listening tour in every corner of Ward 5. We heard directly from residents about what they want from their next Councillor. My vision for leading Ward 5 is based on a clear understanding of what residents want and need. Folks want to stay true to what’s worked well for years — and they absolutely want to build for the future. Here’s my plan, based on your ideas and input: • Keep providing family-friendly events throughout the year, and add even more fun activities for all ages in every part of the Ward to keep our community vibrant. • Respond promptly to residents’ requests for assistance, including on evenings and weekends. • Host public Ward meetings, suppers, and office hours on a Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 them navigate the pandemic shutdown and reopen as quickly as possible — and I will stand strongly with our small business community, ready to navigate a changing economy together. If I am elected, I will work my Ari Taylor Candidate for Malden Ward 5 City Council regular schedule to improve residents’ access to their Councillor, especially in senior housing. • Provide a free newsletter for all Ward 5 residents to keep folks informed. For over 30 years, I’ve been delivering results for Malden. I’ve helped create and find sustainable funding for numerous Malden institutions — like Malden Porchfest, the Merry Malden Holiday Drive, and UMA (MATV). I worked with the owners of Stand Up 8 Dance Studio in Maplewood Square to help heart out for Ward 5 residents and go the extra mile. Just as an example, this summer I’ve taken the time to meet with various heads of City departments, getting to know them and how their departments work, so I will be ready on day one to respond to residents’ needs. They’ve shared so many great ideas that I’m ready and excited to work on. If you are still deciding on your voting decision, I hope you will visit my website AriForMalden. com to learn more about my background, endorsements, and where I stand on a broad range of issues. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to earn your vote on Tuesday, November 7.
