A Personal Message to the Saugus Community:
Hello, my name is Sue Palomba, and I am announcing my candidacy for Town Meeting Member for Precinct 1 in the upcoming 2025 election. It has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve this community, and I would be deeply honored to continue representing you for more years to come.
Saugus is not just where I live — it’s where my heart is. This town has given me so much, and my greatest joy has been giving back through public service and community involvement. Since first being elected as Town Meeting Member for Precinct 1 in 2019, I have proudly served three full terms with an excellent attendance record, ensuring that your voices are always heard and represented.
For over 20 years, I have been an active volunteer at the Saugus Senior Center, where I have had the pleasure of serving lunches, calling Bingo, and spending time with our wonderful seniors who built the foundation of this town. I also serve as the Secretary of the Friends of the Saugus Senior Center, working to support and expand vital programs that bring comfort and joy to our senior community.
Beyond Town Meeting, I have been deeply involved in many community organizations that reflect my passion for service and unity. I am a proud member of the Saugus-Everett Elks Lodge, where I have held leadership roles including Exalted Ruler, Board of Directors Member, and Chair of Veterans’ Causes. Supporting our veterans and their families has always been close to my heart.
I have also served on the Board of Directors for Saugus Cable TV (SCTV) for nearly seven years, helping ensure that our residents stay informed and connected through local programming and open communication. My civic involvement extends to environmental and beautification efforts as an active member of both the Saugus Garden Club and Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE), where I work alongside others to protect our natural resources and keep Saugus beautiful.
I was born in Avellino, Italy, and my parents immigrated to the United States in search of new opportunities for our family. We first settled in the Bronx, New York, and later moved to Wakefield, Massachusetts, where I grew up learning the values of hard work, compassion, and community service. Those early experiences shaped who I am today and inspired my lifelong dedication to helping others. At the age of 19, I took my first real estate course, beginning a career built on integrity, service, and helping families achieve their dreams of homeownership. Today, I am proud to serve as the Owner and Broker of Mango Realty, right here in Saugus, a town that truly feels like home. I am running because I believe deeply in this community — its people, its history, and its future.
“My goal is to preserve our history, protect our natural treasures, and create vibrant community spaces that families can enjoy for generations. By combining careful planning, community input, and thoughtful upgrades, I will ensure that our precinct continues to be a safe, beautiful, and welcoming place for all residents.”
“I am committed to creating a Saugus where history, nature, and community come together. Our precinct is home to unique landmarks and open spaces that strengthen our town’s identity, promote family engagement, and provide safe, accessible areas for everyone.”
If re-elected, I will continue to:
- Preserve our town’s rich history while planning responsibly for its future
- Protect and enhance our green spaces and neighborhood safety
- Support our seniors, veterans, and working families
- Encourage transparency, unity, and collaboration in all local matters
- Foster pride, connection, and civic involvement across our precinct
Saugus residents can continue looking toward the future with confidence and progress, knowing that through teamwork, compassion, and commitment, we can make our community stronger than ever.
I am humbled by the trust you have placed in me over the years, and I respectfully ask for your support and your vote in the 2025 Saugus Election for Town Meeting Member, Precinct 1. Together, we can preserve our history, strengthen our community, and build a brighter future for all who call Saugus home.
I am #1 on the ballot. With heartfelt gratitude,
Assunta “Sue” Palomba
Candidate for Town Meeting Member – Precinct 1, Saugus
