Over the past 7 years I have proven that a strong business acumen and leadership ability are important qualities for a Board Member to possess. I am a 4th generation Saugonian and I graduated from Saugus High School with high honors in 1990, my daughter graduated SHS in 2019 (high honors) as her class V.P. and my son is a Senior at SHS (high honors) and is the class Treasurer and a varsity baseball player. I joined my firm twenty-seven years ago (1994) after I graduated magna cum laude from Salem State University with a BS in Accounting and Finance. The past 16 years I have been a Partner and Shareholder. This awesome responsibility has put me in front of many of the executives at the largest companies in the region as we work together to address complex business strategies and implement detailed strategic plans. Over the years, I RUNNING FOR REELECTION: Jeffrey Cicolini wants to serve another two years as a Saugus selectman, helping his hometown.

I spend a great deal of time reviewing each business proposal and permit application and make sure I have the important questions ready to ask and get answers for prior to any vote being taken. I have a track record that shows I am pro-business, but I always do so with great pause and caution as to not overburden our schools or limit the public services for our residents. I advocated for the moratorium on multi-family construction. I am one who believes in doing what is best for our town as a whole and leads by example. If you tune in to our board meetings you will see that I spend the time doing my research and I ask the important questions and impose conditions on permits to protect our community. My commitment to do what is right for the town comes before anything else. I have served with many Selectmen over the years and have proven that I can work collaboratively and effectively with everyone. I ask that you once again consider me for one of your 5 votes so I can continue to serve our town with the same level of integrity and enthusiasm. I will not let you down. Thank you!
