We’re excited to launch our new short series featuring independent candidates. Tonight, we spoke with Nick Giurleo, who joined John for a thoughtful discussion on zoning and the proposal for a new charter.

Nick Giurleo, a candidate for Medford, Massachusetts City Council, recently spoke with John to share his concerns about the current administration’s approach to zoning reform. He criticized the mayor and city council for attempting to rush through a new zoning ordinance with minimal input from residents, calling for greater transparency and public engagement in the process. Giurleo also voiced strong support for the proposed city charter, which will appear on the ballot this November. He explained that the charter outlines a new framework for city governance, including ward-based representation—a change he believes will give residents a stronger voice in local decision-making and ensure more equitable representation across Medford’s neighborhoods.
