I Commit to Accountability & Transparency for Nashua
With years of experience in public service, I understand the importance of being accountable to the people I serve. I will always prioritize transparency in decision-making, keeping you informed about where your tax dollars are going and the progress of key city projects.
Because I am very committed to Nashua, I want to see us thrive — not just today, but for generations to come. Ward 5 is more than just a place on a map to me; it's my home. I’ve spent decades working on behalf of our city — whether at City Hall, Board of Education, or in Concord — because I believe in the people who live here and in the potential we have when we work together. With a proven track record of leadership, a deep understanding of both local and state government, and a commitment to real results — not just promises — I’m ready to serve Ward 5 with experience, integrity, transparency and unwavering dedication.
I respectfully ask that you vote for Paula Johnson on Nov. 4 so I can continue working for you and with you, to make Nashua your forever home with pride and joy.
