~ Political Announcement ~ Anthony Cogliano seeks third consecutive term on the Saugus Board of Selectmen

I am Anthony W. Cogliano, a fourth generation Saugonian and have resided in East Saugus for all of my 57 years.

My wife Therese and I have four children, Cassandra, Gabriela, Sophia and Anthony Jr. We are now blessed with two beautiful granddaughters, Luciana and Leila Cross.

I am a product of Saugus Public Schools graduating in 1984. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Salem State College in Business Administration with a major in Management. I am the owner of A. Cogliano Realty Services, a licensed realtor with Littlefield Real Estate and the GM of Cogliano Plaza.

I was first elected to the Saugus Board of Selectmen in 1991 at the age of 25 and served in that capacity for 10 years. I then took a sixteen-year break from politics to be with, Coach and enjoy my children.

In 2019, I decided to get back in the political arena because I believe we can build a better Saugus for everyone, our residents deserve it.

During my tenure as Chairman, I promised the residents of Saugus that I would find a better way to work with Companies like Wheelabrator, now WIN Waste Innovations.

I created the Wheelabrator subcommittee that gives our town a long overdue and much needed Host Community Agreement that provides us with an insurance policy should the DEP allow for further expansion of the ash landfill, something that’s been missing for the past 45 years. The agreement will have serious financial gain for our entire town while enhancing the quality of life for the residents of East Saugus.

I’ve also got them to install a new silencer, retrofit the exterior of the building, and attend all Board of Health meetings and lower the emissions.

That’s the power of communication and being able to work with people.

This year brings about new ideas and always new challenges. Never shying away from making Saugus a better place, I started a petition to form a charter commission because I believe all our residents should have a say in who the next town manager will be.

Taking the appointing authority away from the Board of Selectmen and giving it to all 28,000 voters is exactly what they were asking for.

I love the challenges ahead and know we will build a better town of Saugus, together.

I am asking for one of your five votes on November 7^th – # 7 on the ballot.
