Ed Cervone is running for Hallowell's Councilor at Large Seat
I ran for Mayor in 2006. Although I came short of winning, it was an amazing and powerful experience that taught me a great deal about the city. It led to my ongoing involvement in a number of city committees and efforts including the work around the new Vaughn Park and Playground, the Stevens School property, and the soon-to-be released Comprehensive Development Plan. The time spent on these efforts, working with committee members and the City Council, has given me a better understanding of city issues and community needs as well as a deep appreciation for the commitment this work entails.
I feel that I bring other good work experience to the table. My current employer, the Maine Development Foundation, exists to drive sustainable, long-term economic growth for Maine. Locally, I work with the City of Augusta on riverfront and downtown development. We partnered with Gardiner to win almost a half million in grant money for the communities waterfronts and are looking for ways to partner with Hallowell on future opportunities.
My other work experience includes time spent as an economic advocate for low-income families, a small business owner, high school teacher, and state and federal employee. These experiences have provided me with the tools and knowledge necessary to tackle the issues facing Hallowell.

One conversation with Cervone’s opponent, Christy Cross, will convince you that she is best for the position. She is engaged, dedicated, bright, and has a very interesting life story. Please get to know her before the election.
