TAUNTON Timothy Silvia Jr. has announced a run for Taunton City Council this year.
The 30-year-old progressive candidate is a Taunton Democratic Party Ward 1 Committee member and member of the Taunton Progressive Party who has run for Taunton City Council before.
While Silvia said he is still ironing out a final platform, he said he is passionate about issues such as Taunton s economy, strengthening the small business sector and unions, infrastructure repair and modernization, energy efficiency and sustainability, social and racial justice and homelessness and public safety. I believe in working together with all sides to get things done for the city. No more pushing issues aside. It is time for someone to stand up and tackle the issues head on, he wrote in a statement. I believe in compromise, but I will never back down from what I believe in.
