THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 3, 2025 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 3 Anthony Cogliano seeks reelection to another term on the Board of Selectmen BACKGROUND: I am a fourth generation Saugonian and have resided in East Saugus for all of my 59 years. My wife, Therese and I raised four wonderful children, Cassandra, Co-Owner of Entyre Makeovers with her sisters Gabriela, who is also an RN at Boston Medical Center, and Sophia who is also an RN at Tufts Medical Center. My son Anthony Jr. is a Civil Engineer with Williams and Sparages of Middleton. I am also the proud grandfather of Luciana and Leila Cross of Saugus. I am a product of Saugus Public Schools graduating in 1984. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Salem State College in Business Administration with a major in Management. OCCUPATION: I am the owner of A. Cogliano Realty Services, a licensed realtor with Littlefi eld Real Estate, G.M. of Cogliano Plaza as well as the Property Manager of Interstate Properties. POLITICAL BACKGROUND: I was first elected to the Saugus Board of Selectmen in 1991 at the age of 25 and served in that capacity for 10 years. I then took a 16 year break from politics to be with, coach and enjoy my children. In 2019, with an empty nest I felt it was time to get back involved and decided to once again run for a seat on the Board where I have served for the past six years. During my tenure, I promised the residents of Saugus that I would fi nd a better way to work with companies like Wheelabrator, now WIN Waste Innovations. I helped create the Wheelabrator subcommittee that put forth a plan that would lower emissions, and provide Saugus with free tipping fees for the next 30 years. We developed a host community agreement that was approved by the Board of Selectmen. Should the State once again extend the life of the ash landfill, the plan we developed will save the residents of Saugus upwards of Forty Million dollars over the life of the agreement and make signifi cant environmental improvements for the residents of East Saugus. I started a tradition honoring our graduating seniors from Saugus High School by placing banners throughout the town, a tradition that should start up again. I marched with our residents in support of social justice issues, and I stood with our law enforcement offi cers at their back the blue rally. I brought back a sense of town pride, honoring residents such as Allan Sillipigni and Coach Mark Bertrand who were tragically lost, by placing ornaments on our annual town Christmas tree. I was thrilled and deeply involved with the naming of our DPW building named after Joe Attubato, The Senior Center after Dick Barry and our new Athletic facility after Christie Serino Jr. I also was instrumental in starting our Annual Menorah lighting outside Town Hall ISSUES FACING SAUGUS TODAY: We have a traffi c problem 272 Cross Street LLC and Winn Management do not discriminate because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, handicap, disability, national origin, genetic information, ancestry, children, familial status, marital status or public assistance recipiency in the sale or transfer of apartment units, buildings, and related facilities, including land that they own or control.

I will continue to work with our Police Dept. and schedule and attend as many hearings as necessary until we get it right. We will also have a funding issue with the new Vocational school. I intend to get the facts out to our residents and explain what’s best for our Town moving forward. While the school is necessary, we cannot aff ord any reduction in services in the process. We have to put together a plan for our schools that have come off line and ensure the right fit for each neighborhood. The playground in Golden Hills is in deplorable condition and needs to be addressed. In order to keep up with development, we need the third fire station that has been promised since 1996 to come to fruition. Transparency…I’ll never shy away from the tough questions and will always demand accountability. IN CONCLUSION: There is no substitute for experience. I love this Town and all its people and with your continued support we will make Saugus a better place for the people that matter most, Our Families, our Friends and our Children. I am asking for one of your five votes on Tuesday November 4th. It has been a pleasure serving for as long as I have, while Saugus will always be my home, this will be my final time running for the board…..let’s make it a good one together.
