You might know Victoria Sullivan as the candidate who runs for Mayor of Manchester, but it’s time for a different race. Sullivan has announced she will run in the special election for Ward 9 Alderman to succeed Barbra Shaw, who recently passed.
After much consideration and encouragement from my family, Ward 9 neighbors, and supporters across our city, I have decided to run for alderman in the upcoming special election. Filing for office today was bittersweet as this election is due to the passing of Alderman Barbara Shaw.When I ran for mayor, I promised the voters I would never quit listening to their concerns or ensuring their voices were heard at City Hall. Since November, the issues plaguing our city have only gotten worse; crime has increased, education scores have continued to plummet, transparency has diminished, the homeless crisis has worsened, and taxes are set to go up.The reality is that we desperately need more leaders in Manchester who are willing to stand up, recognize our problems, and have a vision to bring about a brighter future. I look forward to hopefully being a voice for a better tomorrow representing my home ward and an agent of positive change for our city as a whole.
According to the City of Manchester website, “The next scheduled election will be a special election to fill a vacancy in the office of Ward 9 alderman on March 15, 2022.”
We wish Victoria the best of luck, and we’ll follow up on this race as the news and time allow.
