With a slogan reminding residents “We are all in this together” , Highlands Mayor Carolyn Broullon has officially kicked off her campaign for reelection to another term as Mayor. Her team has prepared mailers and Meets and Greets to keep the public aware of her accomplishments in the past and her plans for the future of the borough.
Broullon, who is seeking her third term as Mayor, has already agreed to three Meet and Greet sessions within the next month to give residents the opportunity to meet her in social neighborly sessions as opposed to formal council meetings.
There will be a Meet & Greet the Mayor on Sunday, September 28 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the VFW Post Home adjacent to Huddy Park, another one at Chilango’s Restaurant from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 8 and a third at Franny‘s Pizzeria and Restaurant at 279 Bay Avenue on Thursday, October 23 also from 6 to 8 p.m. In addition, other residents are holding their own afternoon and evening social events for the mayor and their guests.
“The idea is to let people feel comfortable asking me whatever they want,” the soft-spoken mayor said. Smiling, she added, “although I always want people to want to learn more about me and my plans and love for Highlands, this gives them another opportunity that I welcome.”
