THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 18, 2019 Page 5 ~ Political Announcement ~ Former Selectman Anthony W. Cogliano Sr. on return run I am a fourth generation Saugonian and have resided in East Saugus for all of my 53 years. I have been married to Therese (Meehan) Cogliano for the past 29 years. We have four children, Cassandra, a graduate of Salem State University and Co-Owner of Entyre Makeovers with my daughter Gabriela, who is also an RN at Boston Medical Center. Gabriela recently married Michael Cross, Jr. of Saugus. My youngest daughter Sophia recently graduated with a degree in Nursing from Endicott College while my son Anthony, Jr. is a freshman at UNH studying Mechanical Engineering. I am a product of the Saugus Public Schools graduating in 1984. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a major in Management. I also attended Massachusetts School of Law. I am the owner of A Cogliano Realty Services and also a licensed realtor with Littlefield Real Estate also located in Saugus. 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. It was during my tenure that we developed a Capital Improvements plan that enabled us to build the New Public Safety Building, New Public Library, New Senior Center, New DPW Facility, a new rubberized track and major improvements to all our parks, playgrounds and Schools. It was also during this A CANDIDATE AGAIN: After being out of town politics for 16 years, former Selectman Anthony W. Cogliano Sr. says he wants to be back on the board.

I had the pleasure of serving with Janette Fasano, Dick Barry, the late Christie Ciampa, and Jon Bernard. In my opinion, and the opinion of many, the best BOS in the history of the Town. I can’t tell you how good it feels to walk into all of these buildings and see my name embossed on a plaque in the entrance way. I was also a member of the Resco Task Force, served as Saugus’s Liaison to the Lynn Water and Sewer Commission, Chairman of the Saugus War Memorial revitalization Committee, member of the Saugus HS post prom Committee, served on the SHS Coaches selection and Athletic Director Search Committees. I, along with members of our business community started the Friday Night Lights football game which continues today. In recent years we were able to provide the lights for Boys and Girls Soccer and Field Hockey as well. I was awarded the North East Conference Community Service award for my years of dedication to Saugus High School and our Student Athletes. For the past 16 years that I’ve been away from Town Politics I volunteered my time as a Coach for Saugus Youth Soccer, Saugus Town Team Basketball, Saugus Youth Softball, Saugus American Little League, Saugus Babe Ruth Baseball, Saugus Youth Hockey, Saugus Stars Hockey Program, Saugus Wings AAU Baseball Team and still Coach the Saugus Wings Fall League Varsity Hockey Team. I have had the pleasure of coaching hundreds of our kids and forming lasting relationships with them, their parents and their families. With my children all doing well or off at school I have plenty of free time to once again give back to the Town I call home. I have a skillset and knowledge of the position that is second to none and have never lost the desire to serve the great citizens of Saugus. While it’s exciting to see a New HS/ Middle School being constructed along with beautiful new playgrounds, there is much more to be done. The new rezoning plan to develop route one was not carefully thought out ANTHONY W.
