Please vote “Lockwood Mullaney” on Tuesday.

Here are the top ten reasons why.

10. You like my yard signs, even if you were almost rear-ended while straining to read one

9. I’m Irish… even if I’m not related to the Mullaneys of North Quincy

8. You like the Schools fit for Presidents motto and the aspiration for greatness within it

7. Endorsed by the teachers, a key constituency as we address short-term budget challenges and seek long-term improvement

6. I know better than to fix what’s not broken; I will preserve our best practices

5. I believe in public school – I went to 2 years parochial & 11 years public – and couldn’t afford 3 kids in private anyhow!

4. I know what it takes to perform at a high-level in education (Harvard, MIT MBA)

3. I manage strategy and planning – two critical skills for school committee – for the $1.5B Massachusetts business of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care

2. I’m not in the Koch or Phelan camps; I can work with whoever wins to improve our schools

And the number #1 reason I really hope you’ll vote for me on November 3rd….

1. I really, really don’t want to ask my wife Jenny to support another run in 2 years

Please vote “Lockwood Mullaney” on November 3rd!
