James Jim Sullivan

Political platform statement

Why I am running for this office: I am seeking re-election to continue serving the citizens of Hooksett and will seek a three-year seat on the Hooksett Town Council. During my many years on the council I have worked to present good budgets based on need, voted on issues with the approach to what’s best for the town, strived to adhere to the rules and protocols of the town and brought a team approach to making Hooksett a better place to live. Many good things have happened, and I am proud of what together we can do. My experience, background and diverse service to Hooksett I believe should earn your continued support. My current volunteering positions in Hooksett- Town Council 11 years, School Board 23 years, Hooksett Historical Society since 2007, Hooksett Lions club, Planning board member, and Heritage Commission, as well as various school board sub committees. Previously, Bicentennial committee, Men’s Club, Budget committee, Robies Preservation and Solid waste. I was named 2010 Citizen of Year. As a 58-year resident with Hooksett roots since 1918, community service has been a family hall mark. It is truly a great town with a strong history, one which we have face many challenges with the need for increased services, educational issues, and a growing community with new development and increasing population and unfortunately more demand on the taxpayer. Through it all I hope I have been a positive voice in making sure we have overseen these issues with the best of our abilities
