Select Board Candidates

Ben Zoll

Benjamin Zoll, Select Board Candidate

In Milton I have served on Town Meeting, the Milton Foundation for Education Board, volunteered at the Farmer’s Market, and performed at Porchfest. I have coached youth soccer and now organize an adult pick-up league.

I believe it is more important than ever that town government includes the voices of parents. Parents understand our schools’ chronic and increasing overcrowding. It is clear that we need to invest in our schools.

Milton’s resource limitations are also felt by our seniors, police and fire services, and our libraries, who are also chronically underfunded. The time for thoughtful, creative, and collaborative solutions is now.

As a former MPS mom and K-12 /higher education career educator, who’s lived in Milton for 18 years, I’m committed to ensuring our schools thrive and maintain their stellar reputation.

Our town faces challenges navigating growth and change, and I’ll work with everyone, bringing our community together to maintain the unique character of our vibrant town.

By working collaboratively, we can find solutions that work for everyone, so Milton remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family. My background in educational administration, special education, non-profit management, and small business administration will be an asset to Town Meeting.

Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member Candidates

Warren Lizio

Warren G. Lizio, TMM P7 Candidate

Please vote for Warren G. Lizio on April 25th. Thank You!

Running for Town Meeting is important to me because I value East Milton’s integrity and the wellbeing of Milton residents at large. Respecting the Town’s existing character is critical as we take on new challenges like East Milton ReZoning, MBTA Communities, School Expansion, Traffic, and Fiscal Discipline. Growth is inevitable and welcomed when it adds to our community without taking away what we already have.

My family and I love Milton. We are especially grateful to be living in East Milton where active residents have consistently banded together to address critical issues as they arise. Together, with you, we are a community of neighbors.
