Robert Van Campen names Christopher Connolly as Campaign Manager for Everett Mayoral Race

Everett, MA – Everett Mayoral candidate Robert Van Campen announced today that Christopher Connolly has been named Campaign Manager. Connolly – a 3rd-generation resident of Everett – brings a strong background in local organizing and political strategy and will lead the effort to bring Van Campen’s vision of transparent, inclusive, and accountable leadership to voters across Everett.

“Chris brings experience, energy, and his enthusiastic personality to our people-powered campaign for change,” said Van Campen. “Chris has been a friend and supporter for 30 years. He understands Everett — its neighborhoods, its people, and the urgency of this moment. I’m proud to have him leading this campaign as we work to bring effective, community-first leadership back to City Hall.”

A seasoned campaigner, Connolly has worked on numerous successful municipal and grassroots campaigns, including those involving his father, the late Edward G. Connolly, who served with distinction as Mayor of Everett and State Representative. Chris’ appointment signals the Van Campen campaign’s focus on connecting with every corner of the city and building a broad, diverse coalition of support.

“I’m honored to lead Robert Van Campen’s campaign for mayor,” said Connolly. “Everett is hungry for change, and Robert Van Campen is the best person to usher in that change. It is time to return honesty and integrity to the Mayor’s office. We will work harder than any other campaign to knock on every door, engage every voter, and ensure every resident’s voice is heard in this election.”

With Connolly at the helm, the Van Campen campaign is ramping up operations ahead of the November 4th election, promising a grassroots effort focused on listening to residents, addressing real concerns, and delivering results.
