“A community benefits from a non-partisan leader. A leader who truly represents everyone. It is only that kind of leader who can bring every voice to the table. Who actually listens to and responds to each voice. That is how we harness our collective wisdom and power and make Newburyport an even more spectacular place to live, work and play! Sean Reardon is that leader.”
– Meghan Kinsey, former City Councilor, small business owner, mother of three sons

“Sean’s passion and commitment to Newburyport has been influenced and shaped by his deep community and family roots. How fortunate are we to have a candidate in the prime of his career willing to sacrifice the benefits and spoils of a career in the private sector to make a difference in the city he has called home his entire life. I am a proud and enthusiastic supporter of Sean and am excited about Sean’s vision for Newburyport that looks beyond just the next four years. I am confident in his experience and ability to deliver meaningful progress to the city of Newburyport.”
– Gary Calderwood, former Newburyport Building Commissioner

“Sean has shown a passionate commitment to the community long before this official run for Mayor. I have always felt comfortable reaching out to him whether it was for clarification of a school committee topic, more details on a city-wide issue, or most recently for immediate support on a residential crisis in my neighborhood. Each time, Sean responded immediately and professionally, then followed up with extensive extensive feedback and presence that shows his care and dedication to Newburyport residents above all else.”
– Dana Rimer, mom of 2, small business owner, president of the Newburyport Youth Soccer Association.

“For sustainability, the environment and local business, we always say shop local. There is no one more local than Sean Reardon. Although I live in Amesbury, I have worked in Newburyport for 38 years and recognize Sean’s dedication to his community. As a former President of Amesbury City Council, I recognize that his 16 years in business has given him the negotiating, management and people skills necessary to be Mayor of Newburyport. His work on the school committee has familiarized him with municipal government and budgeting. After my time in local government, I believe that our communities benefit by allowing new and younger members as well as women to join in legislating. They can offer new perspectives and represent another group of constituents that are often under represented. Mayor Holaday has done a great job leading Newburyport forward. I believe Sean Reardon can continue that work and continue to move Newburyport forward. I would urge you to vote for Sean Reardon for Mayor on November 2nd.”
– Anne Ferguson, RN at Anna Jaques Hospital

“As a Newburyport business owner of 33 years, I support Sean Reardon for Mayor.
I moved to Newburyport in 1985 and lived here until 2020 when I moved to Plum Island, Newbury.

For decades my family enjoyed what many cannot – living and working in Newburyport.
I applaud Sean’s comprehensive plan to create the affordable housing that is desperately needed. Businesses throughout all of Newburyport, from our restaurants and downtown merchants, to our business park and healthcare institutions, are all struggling to hire employees because workers cannot afford to live here. Long commutes are driving those workers to other communities.

Sean has the experience to lead, and he has the passion. He’s not looking to end his career with a 4-year term followed by a pension and retirement… he’s ready to put his high energy and unwavering tenacity to work for this city and that is exactly what Newburyport deserves in its next Mayor.”

-Ginny Eramo, owner of Interlocks Salon + Spa

“I look for someone with a collaborative nature, open mind and new ideas who can bring people together to create solutions. Sean Reardon is a fresh perspective, unaffiliated with a previous administration and unencumbered by factions on the City Council or previous attempts at negotiations with New England Development. He is focused on the issues that people in this city care about and will look forward, not back.”
