Hello, my name is Kerry Winterson. I am a Ward 5 City Council Candidate. I have been a lifelong resident of Ward 5. I have been employed for 29 years as a Heavy Equipment Bridge Operator at the New Bedford Bridge. I have been a Chief Steward for Bridges throughout the state of Massachusetts for many years as a negotiator, arbitrator and mainly as a liaison between unions and management. I will bring these attributes to the City Council as a Councilor.

Our City needs essential services such as good schools, safety, fire, police, emergency personnel and taxpayer services. To solve our city’s problems, we must have people who will communicate in a civil way and agree to compromise to move the city forward.

When dealing with issues as a City Councilor, I will apply the following strategy in regards to my decision making: Problem; Key Facts; Alternative Strategies; Best Strategy; Feasibility. The best strategy must be feasible in order to be implemented. If it’s not the right decision then we need to go back and look at alternative strategies until we find a result that works.

What I feel the city needs at this point is civility, transparency and accountability. This position is a legislative one as well as a constituent position. Every taxpayer of New Bedford should be represented and I am the person who will do so in a dutiful and considerate manner. I am truly a New Bedford Advocate so vote for me, Kerry Winterson, November 5th.

Editor’s note: New Bedford Guide does NOT endorse candidates. Instead we believe in equal access and allow each candidate to submit a talking point article on why they should be elected to office. Candidates should submit their articles to info@newbedfordguide.com with a photo.
