Evelyn Gomez has pulled papers to run for re-election to the School Committee in the upcoming election April 6. Gomez was appointed to her current seat in June, to fill the vacancy left by Susan Burgess-Cox who resigned in April.
If she files, Gomez will be racing for one of the two available three-year seats with incumbent Tara Donner and newcomers Meghan Moriarty and Jamal Saeh. Newcomer Timothy Flood has also pulled papers for School Committee.
Gomez said she was not certain if she would run until recently. It has been an incredible privilege and honor to serve as the first person of color on the Belmont School Committee. I bring a perspective that isn’t always heard and rarely invited to join the conversation. It is because of this systemic silencing that I always aim to have a diverse representation of voices at the table, and seek them out if they are not there, she said.
