The Union Board for Local 95 of The New England Police Benevolent Association (NEPBA) has unanimously voted to endorse Joe Gaff’s candidacy for Ward 5 City Council.
“After a review of your past record the decision was an easy one,” stated Lt. James M. Gabriel, President of the Everett Police Superior Officers Union Local 95, in a letter to the candidate. “Your service to the City is well known amongst its citizens. You are a lifelong citizen in the city of Everett, where you raised your family – and have served honorably for 39 years in the Everett Police Department.” Gaff is a sergeant and serves on the traffic commission for the past 7 years and is the former treasurer of the patrolmen’s e-board. His notable accomplishments include coaching football at a high school and collegiate level for 32 years and had served in the past as baseball coach and president of the Cal Ripken Baseball League in Everett.
“You have been in a leadership position before and know the value of working with others to accomplish a common goal,” stated the letter. “We believe you are the right person for the job.”
