Alice Arena
President of FRRACS

"I am so glad and encouraged that Julia is running again. The Fore River Residents Against the Compressor Station have been fortunate to have her as an ally in the Town of Braintree. Her work with us on the air quality monitor was amazing! She really digs into the details of a situation and that is a great quality--looking at all sides. The Town of Braintree is lucky to have her and so is FRRACS!"

Jan Muise
District 1 Resident

"I am delighted to hear that Julia is running for reelection to District 1 Councilor. Her time and efforts on behalf of our town, as well as her informative website, is so appreciated, especially given the challenges presented by Covid-19."

Truong Dinh
BEA President &
District 1 Resident

“The two most important qualities to have in local officials are:

1. Understanding the needs of constituents AND

2. Keeping constituents informed on the issues that matter to them.

Julia Flaherty has demonstrated these two qualities over and over again throughout her tenure as Town Councilor for District 1. Julia makes time and spends her time connecting with her constituents both keeping them informed and finding out what matters to them. Her knowledge of the town budget and budget process are second to none. In my time knowing her and talking with her as my Town Councilor, she has impressed me with how she understands the needs of the Braintree Schools and how that fits into the overall budget for the Town. We need Julia Flaherty to continue as Town Councilor so she can continue to advocate for our district and our schools.”

Jay Callum
District 1 Resident

"Julia has proven to be an effective councilor with the interests of the town, and, most importantly, the residents at heart. The level and detail of information she conveys about the business before the council is outstanding and informative. She is also interested in our concerns and opinions as residents and brings a true sense of representation to her position."

Jack O’Connell
District 1 Resident

"The two things I like most about Julia Flaherty are her genuine personality and her informative emails. The first time I met Julia, I was stuck at home on crutches. She was on the campaign trail and rang my bell to introduce herself. We talked briefly about local issues and of course, family. Six months later she was back in my neighborhood and stopped to say hello. The first words out of her mouth were, 'Hey, it's great to see you off the crutches!' I was impressed that she remembered me so well. Now that she's a Town Council member, I’m sure she's pretty busy, but not too busy to stop by recently to deliver a letter of thanks during teacher appreciation week! If you want to learn more about Julia Flaherty and what's happening politically in the Town of Braintree, read her amazing, colorful and highly informative emails."

Kara Louvar
District 1 Resident

"Julia's consistent efforts to keep residents informed on the issues faced by the council, the action she has taken on on big issues like the Quincy billboard and the compressor station, and the energy she has focused on making her office a platform from which all residents can be heard make her an advocate I feel I can be proud of."
