Brennan McKiernan grew up in Wareham, and said he cares deeply about the town and the schools. If elected, he hopes to strengthen the community as a whole, and get kids invested in their education and in the town.
McKiernan said that many of his favorite memories from his childhood are tied to the close-knit community in Wareham: His grandparents telling stories about the people they grew up with, big festivals that brought people together, and the success of Wareham students involved with DECA, the Knowledge Bowl Team and sports.
He said that while the community is still strong, people aren’t always as involved as they could be. The record turnout at the April 10 meeting, at which the Notos Group’s proposed Hospitality, Recreation and Entertainment District was defeated, is proof of that, McKiernan said.
