SULLIVAN TO SEEK CITY COUNCIL RE-ELECTION
Councillor-At-Large
Robert F. Sullivan has announced his candidacy for re-election. Mr.
Sullivan is seeking re-election to the City Council because he
believes in the future of Brockton and knows that he has the energy,
enthusiasm and dedication to continue inspiring positive changes in
the city. Since his election in 2005, he has actively demonstrated
to all city-wide constituents that he has a real sense of commitment
to his elected office and to all residents of Brockton.
As a
husband, father and concerned citizen, Sullivan will continue to be
an independent voice on the City Council who possesses the
Leadership skills, Experience and Qualifications necessary to
achieve positive change for our “City of Champions”.
Mr.
Sullivan served as Council President last year, and was the former
Chairman of the both the Finance and Ordinance Committees. He has
previously served on the Traffic Commission, Public Safety, and
Accounts Committees. In addition, Councillor Sullivan is the City
of Brockton representative to the Plymouth County Advisory Board.
He is a
member of the Ward One Democratic City Committee and the Plymouth
County Democratic League. He also served from 2003-2005 on the
Brockton Planning Board. Prior to his election to the Brockton City
Council, Mr. Sullivan interned in Washington D. C. with former
Congressman Brian J. Donnelly and at the Massachusetts State House
with former State Senator Michael C. Creedon.
Mr.
Sullivan believes that the upcoming election is about improving the
economic, educational, and public safety conditions of our city. He
has a vision for the future of Brockton as illustrated by his
advocacy of “Smart Growth Overlay District” and by insistence last
year that a Planning Department component remain at City Hall.
During the
current economic and financial challenges, Sullivan hopes to create
a climate of steady stability and future growth in order to improve
the lives of all citizens and business owners. He strongly believes
in fiscal responsibility and cost containment and will continue to
fight for the Senior Citizens and Retirees.
As
evidenced in the numerous resolves that he has filed while a member
of the City Council, Sullivan understands firsthand the concerns of
Brockton’s families and businesses. He is and will continue to be a
strong opponent of the proposed Power Plant within the city. As a
parent and Brockton business owner, he has a real stake in the
future of Brockton and will continue to offer a perspective on the
City Council that will create beneficial change.
Robert
Sullivan is married to Maria (Luizzi) Sullivan, and they have a son.
He is a
life-long Brocktonian and is an attorney in the City of Brockton.
He attended Brockton public schools and graduated from Brockton High
School in 1988. He is also a graduate from Boston College (B.A.;
M.B.A.) and from the New England School of Law (J.D.). Mr. Sullivan
has previously worked at the Massachusetts State House as Chief
Legal Counsel to the Joint-Committee on Election Laws. He is also a
registered Massachusetts Real Estate Broker and a Notary Public.
Mr.
Sullivan asks that the people of Brockton support his Re-election
candidacy for Councillor-At-Large. It is during these difficult
financial times that our City needs to Re-elect a candidate with
integrity, who is an independent voice to continue serving as a
Councillor-At-Large. Councillor Sullivan represents the best of
interests of all Brocktonians. If city residents are interested in
