Meet James

"I run for the School Committee not to oppose any candidate, but to propose a new and sensible direction. I run because I am convinced that our city can do better, and because I have such strong feelings about what must be done I feel that I am obliged to do all that I can. Woburn is my home. I've walked the same school hallways as our students, taught in our classrooms, and coached where I was a student-athlete. I know what makes this city special, and I believe that we can do more to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and prepared for success."
