My name is Naomi Carney and I am asking for your vote on Tuesday November 5. I am running for the office of Councilor- at-Large and would be honored to serve the great residents of New Bedford. I am the daughter of Joe and Edith Andrews and the mother of Sean and Sydnee Carney. I am of American Indian and Cape Verdean Heritage, two great cultures that I am extremely proud of. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from UMASS and have been employed by the Bristol County Sheriffs Office 9 years.
It was my honor to serve on the city council 10 years ago and I have run for re-election every election since. I vow to be YOUR voice in government. I am a single parent, homeowner, taxpayer,and daughter to elderly parents so I am well aware of the struggles todays families face on a day to day basis. I represent every demographic here in our great city.
It is my wish to restore our schools to their former glory. By working closely with the mayor and the school committee I believe we can accomplish this. Our children deserve better than what they have been given as of late. They deserve the teachers and the technology to succeed. Also, our seniors have paid their dues and senior centers should not always be the first the sustain budget cuts. I want to work hard for you, to bring economic development and growth to our wonderful city while promoting fiscal responsibility. I will work to make our streets safe again and to form great neighborhoods.
I have experience as a city councilor and am willing to work with the mayor and the rest of city council to form a cohesive, productive city council. I pledge to be YOUR voice in government, to listen to and to treat all people of our city fairly.I am a leader and will lead our city into the future with it’s best foot forward.
I humbly ask for your vote, tomorrow, November 5 in the New Bedford election. I would be honored to gain your support and your faith and I will work every single day to continue to earn it. Please let me represent you in your city.
