Message from Laura
I would be honored by your support in the election for the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission
on
Tuesday, March 2, 2021.
As a 30-year resident of Wellesley, I am deeply committed to our community and have long worked to improve and enhance the town’s extraordinary assets. Raising my two children, Mike Robert and Julia Fragasso, here in Wellesley has given me a profound appreciation for the parks and recreational facilities that we all enjoy.
I'm seeking re-election to the NRC to continue to use my experience and perspective to help guide policy and balanced decision-making. My top priority is to hear and serve all residents as I work to advance the NRC’s mission of environmental stewardship.
- Town Meeting Member:
For the past eight years, I have been a member of Wellesley Town Meeting and have become well-versed in the structure and processes of town government.
- Advocate for safe drinking water:
As a passionate advocate for safe drinking water, I co-founded the local organization Friends of Brookside
in 2010 to promote protections for the underground wells and aquifer on the eastern side of Wellesley that provide our water.
- Booster for public engagement in our parks: I co-founded Art in the Park project with Wellesley Women Artisans to engage residents of all ages in an annual community art project during the Wellesley Wonderful Weekend celebration.
- Career in Financial Services: As an insurance account executive at Sun Life, I have a real-world perspective on financial issues and the expertise to review budgets and plan for future needs. Years of complex relationship-building with clients have also made me a skilled collaborator and negotiator.
With my passion for environmental stewardship, my experience in town government, and my ability to engage the public, I believe I'm effective member of the NRC.
I ask for your vote in the town election on Tuesday, March 2!
