The election is now over, and Garry Gianino will start his 6th term as a member of the Board of Selectmen. Although we lost by only 26 votes, I am pleased we won 4 of the 6 precincts. Virginia Mooney came in third with 259 votes and also lost her bid for a seat on Town Meeting. On Monday, we will formally ask the town for a recount, which is standard procedure for an election this close. Approx 25 years ago, there was a School Committee seat that was decided by 6 votes. We do not know if a Board of Selectmen's race was ever this close.
Thank you to all my supporters, especially those who volunteered to hold signs with me and those I met when going door to door. A special thanks to Cindy Gilpin, my campaign manager, and Rose Manni, co-chair. I also want to thank Dan Raske for building and distributing the many signs we had around Burlington. Finally, thank you to everyone who got out there and voted. With a margin as slim as 26 votes, it is clear that every vote does count.
I look forward to continuing to serve the Town of Burlington as a Town Meeting Member (Precinct 6) and Ways and Means Committee member. I will continue to post to the blog on a regular basis.
About Me
- Dan DiTucci
- Burlington has been my home since 1959, when my parents moved from Arlington to Burlington and bought a house on Skilton Lane. At that point, Burlington had more dirt roads than paved roads. I am close with my two brothers and one sister. Shortly after getting married, I moved to my current residence on Lisa Street. My wife, Mary, and I raised 3 sons who attended Burlington schools K-12. I was involved in youth soccer for 12 years and also coached little league. I own Spencer Cleaners and have enjoyed being a small business owner in Burlington for 25 years.
