Lifelong Peabody Resident Announces City Council Run

PEABODY, MA – Stephen F. Collins III announced his candidacy for a City Councilor-At-Large seat on Thursday, with a campaign kickoff event next week.

Collins, a Syracuse University graduate, works as a claims resolution specialist at Liberty Mutual in Danvers.

"As a lifelong resident of Peabody, I have been heavily involved in the City through community activities, school, sports, and work," said Collins in a statement. "Peabody has done a lot for me and I believe it is time I give back. As the eldest of six siblings I want to ensure that they have the same experiences and opportunities that I had. I will bring new ideas to the Council while maintaining the same values that this City prides itself upon. Going around the city the past few months talking and meeting with the voters and listening to their concerns while gathering signatures has been a great experience. I am looking forward to the months ahead."

Collins' campaign kickoff event will be on June 9, at 7 p.m., at the Peabody A.O.H. Hall.
