~ Political Announcement ~ Brian Doherty announces candidacy for School Committee

My name is Brian Doherty, and I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for Saugus School Committee.

For the past 17 years, I’ve called Saugus home. My wife Lea and I are raising our two daughters, Ava (8) and Brielle (4), here, and I’m deeply invested in the future of our schools and community. With a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Lasell University and an MBA from Endicott College, I’ve built a career in finance. Currently working as a Vice President focused on Alternative Investments with Fidelity Investments.

I’m running for School Committee because I believe that education is the foundation of a strong community. I want to ensure that every student in Saugus has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. My priorities will include:

• Improved communication between the schools, families, and the community
• Greater transparency in decision-making
• Responsible budgeting that ensures our schools are funded wisely and sustainably

I want to thank the current members of the School Committee for their dedication and service. I look forward to building on the progress already made. If elected I will work with our friends and neighbors here in Saugus, as we continue to build on the future of education in our town. I will ensure that every parent has a voice and is heard.

With five years of experience on the Saugus Finance Committee, I bring a deep understanding of budgeting and forecasting, and I’m ready to apply that expertise to support smart and transparent investments in our schools.

Outside of work, I’m active in our community — coaching and supporting Saugus Youth Basketball, Soccer, Softball, and Football and Cheer, and proudly involved with the Saugus-Everett Elks.

I’m running because I believe in this town, our kids, and the power of public education. With your support, we can work together to strengthen our schools and secure a brighter future for every student in Saugus.

I respectfully ask for your vote for Saugus School Committee.

Thank you,

Brian Doherty for Saugus School Committee
