Governor Charlie Baker (Swampscott) Saying goodbye to the State House
Manny Cruz – Wednesday, I was officially sworn to serve the residents of the 7th Essex District. It was a special day with my family and friends who played such an instrumental role in growth as a leader. Thank you to the residents of Salem for entrusting me with this immense responsibility.
Statement today from Kim Driscoll – I’m so deeply grateful for the opportunity I’ve had over these last 17 years, to help shape, improve, and lead this amazing community of Salem. And I’m so grateful for the support, collaboration, and friendship of so many of you in making that opportunity happen.
When I announced my first candidacy for mayor in 2005 I said that Salem deserved a City government as dedicated, optimistic, and forward-looking as the people it serves. I believe that we’ve achieved that vision and that the state of our city is as strong as its future.
And I’m incredibly thankful for all of you who joined me in making that possible. Thank you and God bless. I’m looking forward to all that comes next for Salem and for our Commonwealth.
