Grace Lynn Arena
Candidate for re-election

My husband and I have lived in Reading since 1982. We’re grateful our children grew up in this caring, safe community, a great place to live.
I know that local government directly impacts our lives, and the small-town character of Reading. Voters DO make a big difference!
If re-elected, I will be grateful and accessible. I’ll work to ensure that Reading remains a unique, beautiful town for all who live and do business here.

My wife Jennifer and I have been Reading residents for over 40 years. Our daughter Victoria attended the Killam School and Austin Prep. I am a retired aerospace quality engineer and I have also worked for several years in real estate development. I feel that my expertise will be an asset to our discussions regarding the Senior Center and Killam School projects. I am asking for your vote on March 5.

Candidate for re-election

My husband and I have lived in Reading for 25 years and raised our four kids here. The majority of my career has been in public higher education but since 2000 I’ve been working for RPS as a substitute teacher in our elementary/middle schools. I believe in a common sense approach to governing that involves a constructive exchange of ideas and focuses on local issues. My interests include the Killam school project, the senior center, and MBTA communities.

My wife and I have lived in Reading for 19 years and raised four children here. I am a construction project manager on the owners side and I have followed the issues in the schools and the town. I am concerned with the issues regarding MBTA communities and increasing costs in town services and would like to provide my perspective on these and other issues.

We must protect and value every taxpaying citizens of this town and their hard earned money. I have 38 years of success winning over a hundred million dollars in government IT contracts via competitive bids in the US and Abroad. My experience with government budgets related to large projects and multi-million-dollar procurement’s will bring value to the discussion(s) here. Taxpayers in Reading should not be rolled or ruled by a self-anointed few.

Boriana L. Milenova

I moved to Reading in 2005 because I liked the small-town feel. I work as an AI architect in a large software company. In 2017, a 40B development project – Eaton-Lakeview Apartments – came to my street. I worked hard to improve the proposal and make it palatable to the neighborhood. This year, MBTA Communities became a major topic. I plan to work towards a consensus solution that leverages underdeveloped areas, provides adequate affordable housing, and preserves the town character.

My wife Karen and I have lived in Reading since 1994, first on Willow Street now on Bond Street. Many years ago, I previously served on TM. Our two children attended Reading Public Schools. My work for the state would provide me with useful knowledge on issues that will come before TM. I am aware of local business issues from my part-time retail job in Reading. I respectfully ask voters of Precinct 7 to vote for me on March 5.

Meredith Reid

I’m running for Town Meeting because I believe Reading deserves as many different perspectives as possible at all levels of government. Our residents, young and old, need to know their interests are being heard and considered and diversity of thought is one way to ensure this happens. My background in research means I play devil’s advocate a lot and I feel that’s what our children, our seniors and our business owners need, especially in these economically and socially volatile times.
