I’m Nate, a Medford homeowner of 11 years, dad to two young boys, an electrical systems engineer, and a former firefighter and EMT. I’ve also been a regular voice at City Council meetings since 2014, wanting to keep Medford safe and responsive.
I’m running for City Council as an independent because I believe Medford deserves leadership that focuses on local issues, not national agendas, and real solutions, not political theater.
I didn’t plan to run for office. But when you care about your city, you step up. That’s why I’m here.
My priorities are simple:
• Keep Medford affordable for all
• Support small businesses and smart zoning that protects our neighborhoods
• Fix our roads and sidewalks — not just your car or bike
• More after-school programs, especially in the winter
• Expand vocational education so kids learn to build and fix, not just throw away
• And support the departments that keep our city running: Fire, Police, and DPW
I’m looking forward to earning your support and working together to get Medford back on track.
