CANDIDATES NIGHT

Introduction

This Voters Guide is provided as a public service by the League of Women Voters of Arlington, and is designed to present voters with information to help them make informed decisions about the candidatesin the Town election on Saturday, April 10, 2021. In compiling the information for this Voters Guide, the League sent a questionnaire to all candidates whose names were provided by Arlington’s Town Clerk. The candidates appear as they are printed on the ballot.

The League of Women Voters of Arlington formulated the wording of all questions asked. If replies exceeded the word limits, answers were cut by the League to fit the required limit. All candidates wereinformed of this process in the mailing. Replies were also formatted to fit within the space constraints of this document. The candidate responses were not edited for grammar or spelling.

Candidates Night

Envision Arlington and The League of Women Voters of Arlington sponsor Candidates Night, held on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 via live stream on ACMi.tv. The forum will start promptly at 7:30 pm. The event will also be cablecast. Check with your cable provider for broadcast times. A non-partisan three-member panel will screen questions. Please read the procedure below.

Procedures for Screening Questions For Candidates Night

1. Questions are asked of all the candidates and should not single out certain individuals.2. Questions of policy should pertain to the specific powers of the office sought and the level of

government it is in.3. Questions should be direct, clear and avoid language that introduces a bias or unduly narrows

the scope of the question.4. Questions of competence and character should be general enough so that a range of experiences

could reasonably be cited as evidence.5. Questions of opinion should be relevant to important issues of public policy likely to come up

for someone elected to the position sought.

Questions selected will include those asked numerous times — as an indication of general interest — provided they meet the other criteria and have not already been covered in the Voters Guide or other well-known sources. The words of the questioner will be preferred even when shortening or editing is needed.

TOWNWIDE CANDIDATES

SELECT BOARD FOR THREE YEARSVote for NOT MORE THAN TWO

(Candidates were limited to 200 words for their answer to the question.)

Eric D. Helmuth: 33 Grandview Road

Occupation: Health Technology Policy Director

Qualifications: In my years as a leader in Town Meeting, chair of theCommunity Preservation Act Committee and volunteer in other corners oftown government I’ve earned a reputation as a doer, good listener andconsensus builder. I’ll bring that broad experience and collaborativeleadership to the Select Board.

Question: In 2020, Massachusetts voters rejected but Arlington voted infavor of ranked choice voting. Should Arlington adopt ranked choicevoting for town elections? If so, for which offices?

Ranked choice voting (RCV) can encourage greater diversity in the candidate field, let voters select their favorite candidate without fear of a spoiler effect, and ensure majority support for the winner. I was among the 61.6% of Arlington voters saying Yes to Question 2, which would have adopted RCV for statewide and federal elections in single-seat races. However, RCV for multi-seat elections is more complex, with somewhat different challenges and benefits. I personally support it for our few single-seat local elections (such as Town Clerk). I also support a related reform of awarding the longest Town Meeting terms to the highest vote-getters. Beyond that, I await the results of the Election Modernization Committee’s comprehensive study of this and other issues before deciding about RCV for other Town races. Furthermore, because Question 2 specifically excluded local government elections and races where more than one candidate can win, we don’t really know how Arlington votersfeel about RCV for our local elections. A nonbinding town-wide referendum would facilitate a robust, specific community conversation and better inform the Select Board and Town Meeting about the will of the voters.

Jennifer R. Susse: 45 Teel Street

Occupation: Accounting Assistant

Qualifications: I served on the School Committee for six years, TownMeeting for 11 years, Long-Range Planning for four years, and haveworked collaboratively with multiple campaigns and advocacy groupsacross the town. I have been a consistent advocate for transparentdecision-making, community outreach, and engagement.

Question: In 2020, Massachusetts voters rejected but Arlington votedin favor of ranked choice voting. Should Arlington adopt rankedchoice voting for town elections? If so, for which offices?

For the past year and a half I have served on the Election Modernization Committee where we discussed and proposed ranked choice voting (RCV) for all town-wide elections. The warrant article was pulled last fall because we felt there wasn’t enough time to explain the details of the system to Town Meeting under the constraints of the new virtual format.

The voter’s experience of ranked choice voting is simple: they rank candidates on a ballot in order of preference. If their first choice fails to garner enough votes, their vote is transferred to the second choice. The benefits of RCV are numerous: 1) voters can express their real preference without fear of spoiling the chances of a viable and still preferred candidate, 2) it encourages more people to run for office and increases voter participation, 3) It encourages candidates to run positive campaigns, and 4) itproduces results that better reflect the will of the voters.

I support RCV for both single-seat and multi-seat elections. For multi-seat elections there are two variants--proportional and non-proportional. Either variant would improve multi-seat town elections today. The Election Modernization Committee is currently planning outreach on this issue to Town Meeting Members.

John V. Hurd: 242 Hillside AvenueCandidate for Re-election Occupation: Attorney

Qualifications: As a current Select Board Member, a progressive, alocal real estate attorney, a coach, and a 35-year resident of theArlington, who went through the Arlington school system and now hastwo boys in Arlington schools, I bring a unique, well-roundedperspective to the Select Board.

Question: In 2020, Massachusetts voters rejected but Arlington voted in favor of ranked choice voting. Should Arlington adopt ranked choice voting for town elections? If so, for which offices?

Arlington has made great strides recently increasing diversity in town. However, our housing afford-ability crisis threatens this progress. We need to ensure that all voices in town are heard and promote more diversity in town leadership. Ranked choice voting (“RCV”) can be a key tool to achieve this goal. The Select Board recently had a hearing on the RCV warrant article submitted for the 2021 Annual Town Meeting. There were two take-aways for me: one, RCV can be really beneficial in our local elections; and 2) there remains some disagreement about how RCV should operate locally.

The Election Modernization Committee has done amazing work on RCV. However, during COVID, their ability to educate residents about the benefits of RCV locally has been limited. With a significant change in elections, I believe we need to educate not only town meeting members, but also the public about the proposed changes before Town Meeting votes on the article so residents can share thoughts or concerns with Town Meeting members. I recommend that the warrant article be delayed to either a fall special town meeting or our 2022 annual town meeting to ensure we have sufficient public educa-tion and input.

ASSESSOR FOR THREE YEARSVote for NOT MORE THAN ONE

Kevin P. Feeley: 25 Baker RoadCandidate for Re-election

Occupation: Assessor

Qualifications: I have served on the Board of Assessors for over 30years. I am a member of the Massachsetts and Middlesex countyAssociations of assessing officers. I have participated in all levels oftown government from committee work, town meeting and Selectman.

Question: If elected to the Board of Assessors, would you activelysupport the real estate Tax Exemption Program, listed on the Townwebsite, for low-income property owners? If yes, how? If not, whynot?

It is clear to everybody that in our current economic situation that sometaxpayers are experiencing trouble paying there living expenses including real estate taxes. This is especially true for low-income property owners and also senior citizens on fixed income. Due to COVID 19 and no public access to Town Hall the Assessing department has posted a list of exemptionsthat are available and the applications printed from the web site. If a taxpayer doesn't have access to a computer they can call the department and the staff will be glad to help them.

Guillermo S. Hamlin: 1228 Massachusetts Avenue, #B

Occupation: Government Access Broadcaster

Qualifications: I’m qualified to be Assessor by virtue of currentlyserving as Town Meeting Member. As demonstrated on the housing &media nonprofits that I’ve led. Formerly Paraguayan, I’ve devotedmyself to public service. Even swearing a citizens oath in 2015 aftergraduating with an evening bachelors from Harvard University in 2013.

Question: If elected to the Board of Assessors, would you activelysupport the real estate Tax Exemption Program, listed on the Town website, for low-income propertyowners? If yes, how? If not, why not?

Yes, I would. I was raised by low-income property owners. However, I’d do so in an effective manner. The variety of exemptions to reduce tax obligations are very limited, but the area I’d like to work within scope is financial hardship. Using my community media skills, I will educate my neighbors & review lawful ways to broaden it on the Board of Assessors [under assurances from Town Counsel].

For instance, it was an honor to adopt a Gold Star Family Tax Exemption, a measure passed by Town Meeting. Despite there being only a single family that qualified, the truth is no one wants to be a Gold Star Family. Because of our Town Manager’s creative leadership, the funding came from an abatement overlay & we were able to do the right thing, legitimately.

Whether it is a partial or full exemption, the Board of Assessors have the sole discretion to relieve cases of financial hardship under penalties of the Dept. of Revenue. I need to be clear that I alone can’t undo your tax bill but I will educate you & direct you to call and/or email the Assessors’ Office to determine your eligibility at 781-316-3050 or [email protected].

Phillip P. Lohnes: 22 Bartlett Avenue

Occupation: CPA and Senior Director of Finance and HR, Nantero, Inc.

Qualifications: As a CPA and as a corporate director of finance, I bringobjectivity and clarity to numbers. I’m running for a seat on the Board ofAssessors to offer the voters my management experience, my technicalskills, my fiduciary responsibility, and the clarity of my communication.

Question: If elected to the Board of Assessors, would you activelysupport the real estate Tax Exemption Program, listed on the Townwebsite, for low-income property owners? If yes, how? If not, why not?

Of course I’ll support it! These are statutory exemptions which embodyour commitment to fair, progressive and equitable treatment of our seniors and our families with low incomes. And for what our veterans have sacrificed for us, at the risk of life and limb, relief from property taxes is only a small part of the debt of gratitude we owe them.

So, what more can we do? We have to examine the income limits and ask how long inflation has been pushing them beyond the reach of the people needing relief. We need to “bump up” how to apply for exemptions to a banner across the top of the Assessors web page—right now it’s lost in the menu of other information and forms. We should be using the town’s email notices, and the quarterly mailings of tax bills, to carry the same reminders.

Elect me as your Assessor and I’ll make sure the availability of tax exemptions, like every communication that comes from my office, is written in clear and direct language. I’ll train my staff to answer every question with knowledge and courtesy.

Let’s begin now: this very hard-to-find table of exemptions appears at https://www.arlingtonma.gov/home/showdocument?id=25102

SCHOOL COMMITTEE FOR THREE YEARSVote for NOT MORE THAN TWO

Jane P. Morgan: 172 Brattle StreetCandidate for Re-election

Occupation: Educator

Qualifications: I am a mother of four, former PTO Co-President, currentChair of the School Committee and a higher education administrator andeducator. We have lived in Arlington since 2003 and I remain committed toimproving our schools for all learners.

Question: What should the Arlington Public Schools be doing to meetstudent needs that arose from the school closures during the pandemic?

In order to begin to meet student needs that have arisen from school closures during the pandemic, the Arlington Public Schools must move swiftly and safely toward opening our schools full time for all students. Bringing students back to school is critical for beginning the parallel processes of evaluation and remediation. Preserving the remote academy for those students who need it for this academic year is also necessary. Students need access to their professional educators five days a week as well as all of the educational, social and emotional supports our schools provide. Opening our school full time must be done soon and in conjunction with making vaccinations available to teachers and staff.

The development of the FY22 budget has been done with remediation in mind. However, the impacts of the pandemic will be felt well beyond the next school year. We need consistent and dependable funding for counselors, social workers, reading and math support personnel and smaller class sizes so that educators can meet the needs of all students. This will require investment by the state in municipalities and continued prioritization of the schools at the town level.

Jeffrey D. Thielma n: 37 Coolidge RoadCandidate for Re-election

Occupation: President and CEO, International Institute of New England

Qualifications: School Committee member since 2003, former Chair,served on each subcommittee. Town Meeting member. President, CristoRey Boston High School (2009-15). President & CEO, InternationalInstitute of New England since 2015, a multi-state human servicesorganization providing humanitarian relief, education, job training, andlegal services to immigrants and refugees.

Question: What should the Arlington Public Schools be doing to meet student needs that arose from the school closures during the pandemic?

Every day a child is not school is a bad day for that student, their family, and the community. The most important thing for us to do is get our student back to full-time, in-person learning, during the current school year. Arlington is more prepared than most communities to do this. We have testing for teachers, pool testing for kids, teachers will be vaccinated soon, and our district’s experience with hybrid learning has shown that our Covid-19 protocols keep kids and staff safe.

Over the next few years, students will need more social emotional support, which requires the School Committee to advocate for more funding from state and federal government to pay for additional coun-selors and mental health professionals. The pandemic has been especially challenging for our most vul-nerable students – Special Education children, English Language Learners, and others. Some of these learners experienced substantial regression during the pandemic. As a result, we have to provide them with additional support. Finally, we need to honestly assess where all of our students are academically relative to their grade level, provide appropriate remediation, offer summer classes, and give some stu-dents a chance to repeat a grade to catch up on their learning.

ARLINGTON HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR FIVE YEARSVote for NOT MORE THAN ONE

Nicholas C. Mitropoulos: 17 Jean RoadCandidate for Re-election

Occupation: Vice President, Commercial Operations

Qualifications: I have had the privilege to have served on the Board for20 years. I have been elected by the people of Arlington 4 times. Alifelong resident of Arlington. MBA in Finance and Marketing fromBabson College. Certified Board Member, Ethics, Financial, Personnel,Legal and Professional Relationship training.

Question: Because the Arlington Housing Authority is a state body, how is it accountable to town residents?

First and foremost, I have always felt it was the responsibility of the Arlington Housing Authority, to offer safe and secure housing to its tenants based on the federal and state guidelines while ensuring the Authority remains fiscally sound. The Housing Authority is the vehicle for tenants (via Local Tenants Associations) and town residents to voice their concerns and needs as it pertains to their quality of life.

10

Secondly, we must continue to understand the town requirements for additional housing and have plansin place to secure such properties. A cohesive well-coordinated plan is required to position the town to Federal and State authorities for support to provide the housing it requires. Thirdly, I believe it is in everyone’s best interest to work together to provide necessary services to the tenant’s and their childrento enable them to succeed. The Menotomy Manor skill center is a great example of the power of the town and the AHA working together to provide necessary skills such as English as a second language and the after-school Homework club to its citizens. Henry Ford once said – If everyone is moving forward together, then success will take care of itself. Let us move forward together.

Kelda K. Fontenot: 42 Allen Street

Occupation: Project Management (music)/ESL teacher

Qualifications: With over ten years’ experience in housing advocacyand professional project management, I bring a valuable skill setrelating to the challenges of applying for low-income housing alongsidebusiness skills. My education guides me regarding effects of housingpolicy. My personal experience seeking safe, affordable housing is mystrongest asset.

Question: Because the Arlington Housing Authority is a state body,how is it accountable to town residents?

Despite being a state body, the AHA is a local entity in its effect. The health of a community is reflected in the health of its residents. With over 1,500 of our most vulnerable community members (including over 400 children), AHA’s properties reflect the community of Arlington - regardless of how funding is formulated.

Arlington residents value our town’s diversity as well as our lifelong residents. Members of the community residing in AHA properties represent this diversity more than any other group of people. Our children, local workers whose presence we take for granted, and familiar faces we see every day on the street or volunteer alongside all encompass AHA residents. It is simply impossible to separate our community members as state residents or Arlington residents. Through its responsibility to these residents, the Arlington Housing Authority is undeniably accountable to the community of Arlington, not only the state.

Massachusetts law recognizes this unique combination of state and local accountability through the unique structure of our housing authority boards.With four community members and only one member appointed by the state, the AHA board reflects this clear community accountability.
