Why I’m Running for Braintree Town Councilor-At-Large ?

I’ve been proud to call Braintree home for over 20 years. Over that time, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with many neighbors—some who’ve lived here their entire lives, and others who’ve recently moved from nearby communities like Quincy and South Boston. No matter their background, one theme comes up again and again: Braintree’s strong sense of community. People talk about neighborhood schools where kids walk to class with their friends, ride bikes to summer baseball games, and kick off soccer season in the fall. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s the Braintree my own children grew up in, and it’s the Braintree I’m committed to strengthening. That’s why I’m running for Town Councilor-at-Large: to help preserve what makes Braintree special—a safe, connected, and welcoming town that we’re proud to call home. As part of this journey, I’d love to hear from you. What does your neighborhood mean to you? Please share your stories with us here or email me at Justineh02184@gmail.com.
