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.

As aircraft become more electric, engines become more efficient and spacecraft seek to conquer new frontiers, the aerospace and defense industry needs fresh ideas from younger generations that grew up with a passion for sustainability and innovative technologies.
Through the annual 20 Twenties program, the Aviation Week Network and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) recognize young, rising stars within the industry. Top students working to solve aerospace challenges are nominated by universities around the world, and a judging panel comprised of hiring managers, engineers and academics selects 20 exceptional winners. Nominees are evaluated based on academic performance, civic contribution and the value of their research or design projects.
