Can I count on your vote today?

The polls in Newton open today at 7 AM. Here in Ward 5, we’ll be deciding who will be our next Ward Councilor. I hope you will cast your vote for me before 8 PM.

- Precinct 1 votes at the Emerson Community Center in Upper Falls.
- Precinct 2 votes at the Hyde Community Center in Newton Highlands.
- Precincts 3 and 4 vote at the Waban Library Center.


I’ve knocked on more than 8,000 doors this year, wrapping up in Upper Falls this past Saturday, and managed to meet nearly 2,000 people by doing that.

I got in this race back in June 2018 because my supporters and I believed that we needed a real choice in this election and a voice for making Newton a community for everyone. From the start, I said that I would run on a clear, outspoken platform articulating my values and vision for Newton and Ward 5 – particularly on environmental action and affordable housing issues. I hope you think I have done so. That clarity of purpose is why I believe we will win today.

The past year and a half has brought me even closer to the community I grew up in, and I have been heartened to hear from so many voters who share my vision – or from voters who don’t share my positions but respect my honesty and clarity and believe that I will be responsive to their constituent service questions.

I have learned a lot during this experience, and I loved having the opportunity to bring information on pending neighborhood issues and problems to residents who have questions and concerns but have not had the time to be present at all the many public and community meetings. I hope to continue doing that in the next two years!

The Ward 5 Councilor election is likely to be fairly close. I won the preliminary election in September by fewer than 10 votes.

Your vote today could decide the election.

Thank you for your support and interest in my candidacy. Together, we can win this seat. I could not do any of this without you.

Sincerely,
Bill Humphrey
Ward 5 Councilor Candidate
