Tara Jean Gregory
Melissa Lee Murphy

My name is Melissa Murphy. My husband and I have four children and have lived in Reading for 16 years. I am proud to live in this town and want to be a voice for all Reading residents. Over the last several years I’ve listened, watched, and followed the Select Board. Now is the time for me to get more involved. I am not afraid to have a difficult conversation or discuss an issue head-on. For more information, www.melissaforreading.com
