FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 20, 2010
NEEDHAM - Needham Selectwoman Denise Garlick confirmed her candidacy this week for the Democratic nomination for the Massachusetts House of Representatives, 13th Norfolk District. She submitted signatures collected from voters in Needham, Dover and Medfield. Garlick, a Registered Nurse and lifelong Democrat, pledged to provide positive leadership and produce effective results for the members of her district and the Commonwealth.
Garlick said, "I will protect the vital interests of the members of this district at the state level during these challenging times. From many conversations with voters in all three communities and as a working nurse and elected official, I am acutely aware of the demands faced by our families, seniors and businesses."
She also pointed to her record during an impactful tenure on the Board of Selectmen.
"I have produced results that count through compassionate leadership and coalition building. I will bring my skills and energy to the House of Representatives to work every day for the residents of Needham, Dover and Medfield."
Elected to the Board of Selectmen in 2008, Garlick immediately set to work on Needham's Town Hall renovation project. Denise's independent voice on the Board of Selectmen in a speech at Needham's Town Meeting altered the course of the project, leading to a design overwhelmingly approved by Town Meeting and currently under construction in Needham's historic Town Common.
Currently, she serves as co-chair of Needham's Senior Center Exploratory Committee, spearheading a project that languished on the town's to-do list for more than a decade. That committee has made great progress: Needham's Town Meeting approved funding in November for a feasibility study, keeping the project on schedule and on budget.
She also represents the Board of Selectmen on the Council of Economic Advisors and is working with business and civic leaders to revitalize the New England Business Center at Route 128 and transform it into a powerful engine for economic growth.
Prior to joining the Board of Selectmen, Garlick was Chairman of the Needham Board of Health and a veteran Town Meeting Member. She founded and served as Co-Chairman of the Needham Coalition for Suicide Prevention, which supports and strengthens the community. It currently serves as a model for community coalitions throughout the state.
Garlick's record as an advocate and leader stretches beyond her work in Needham. She is a working Registered Nurse and served as President of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, an organization with 23,000 members. In this capacity, she led a national campaign to educate workers about health and safety issues.
The Democratic Primary will be held on September 14, 2010.
Denise and her husband Russell are 22-year residents of Needham, where they raised their four children: Monica, Elizabeth, Alex and Andrew.
