Three candidates for the two at-large seats on Newton’s Board of Aldermen/City Council from Ward 3 At-Large — incumbents Ted Hess-Mahan and Jim Cote plus challenger Julia Malakie— will be on the ballot this November. Cast up to two votes in our very unscientific poll and then tell us why in the comments section.

I may not always agree with him, but Ted Hess-Mahan is one of the most intelligent, insightful, compassionate, effective, and accessible aldermen in the last half century. I voted for him in the mayor’s race, so of course he’s got my vote for reelection.
Ted is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and cognizant of the big picture. And willing to talk to anybody.
.. let’s not forget that he he is our most prolific, informative, and also very funny alderman contributor to village 14. That’s got to count for something in my book.
