Anthony Guardia announces candidacy for 9th Essex District State Rep.
Anthony Guardia, Chairman of the Wakefield School Committee, announced today that he will run as a Democrat for State Representative for the 9th Essex District. Guardia has served on the committee for four years and has been its chairman since April 2009. “As an elected official in Wakefield, I see first hand the problems our cities and towns have had to deal with,” says Guardia. "I believe it’s time that we had a strong voice on Beacon Hill who is focused on solving issues important to the district."
Guardia, the grandson of Italian immigrants, knows the importance of hard work and strong family values. Guardia’s diligence has led to many improvements in the Wakefield school system. He is currently completing his JD law degree at Suffolk University Law School in Boston.
Guardia’s time in local office has exposed him to several alarming issues that has spurred his desire to run for state office. “Too many times I have watched my community divide over budget issues that had little to do with how the community was run and more to do with distribution in state funding,” says Guardia. “As your state representative my primary goal will be to fix those flaws in the allocation of local funding.”
“I've spoken to many community leaders in Lynn, Lynnfield, Saugus, and Wakefield. I’ve discovered that my concerns are echoed throughout the 9th district. In the coming months I look forward to meeting more citizens, learning from them and working together to come up with innovative solutions for the problems that our communities face.”
