To all who donated, supported, and advised my campaign - Thank you!

Voters of Ward 3, it has been my pleasure to meet you, hear your concerns, and to seek your support. Over the last few months I have knocked on many of your doors and I assure you that I intend to work for you. During my campaign for the office of City Councilor, you have voiced a need for better representation. Throughout I have made only two promises: that I will work hard and that I will listen. I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to Paul Martin (campaign manager), Linda Langevin (Treasurer), Bill Dusty (communications director), and a special thanks to my wife Suzanne.

Melvin Edwards
City Councilor - Elect
"PUTTING SPRINGFIELD FIRST"

** See the Melvin Edwards article on Masslive here.

Springfield and all its residents have been through some difficult times these last few years. Now, this year, we look forward to the departure of the Finance Control Board and the change to Ward Representation on the City Council. For the first time in many years, Ward 3 will have direct representation in city government.

I am Melvin Edwards, and I would like to represent Ward 3 in the great city of Springfield, Massachusetts. My interest in this challenge comes from many years of working hard to make our community a better place to live for everyone. I’d like to continue that work as your Ward Three City Councilor.

As the campaign season moves forward, I will be visiting with my neighbors in Ward 3 and listening to your concerns and ideas on how to help bring a brighter future to our neighborhoods and our children. If you have any ideas or concerns that you would like to bring to my attention, please feel free to contact me via my Contacts page on this site.

Thank you for visiting my Web site, and I hope to meet you on the campaign trail as we work together to help bring better and brighter times for everyone.
