<p>I have always been, and will continue to be, a strong ally of the labor movement. In my view, it is not enough to simply express support, one must actively stand in solidarity with organized labor.</p>

<h2>Effective government starts with listening</h2><p>Tom Melville is running for State Representative in the 9th Norfolk District because he believes <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">effective government starts with listening, decency, and a focus on the real challenges facing families every day.</strong></span> He's committed to being a responsive, pro-democracy legislator who works seriously on healthcare, education, housing, civil rights, and climate. <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Tom has spent his career solving complex problems, building consensus, and showing up when it matters, and he is ready to bring that approach to Beacon Hill.</strong></span></p><p>Tom is a graduate of Boston University and Boston College Law School. He's a licensed attorney in Massachusetts.</p><p>For decades, Tom led major public service newsrooms and communications teams, guiding people through moments of crisis with clarity, kindness, and integrity. As Executive News Director at WBUR, News Director at NECN, and Communications Director at the MIT Energy Initiative, he translated complex information for the public and led teams with a strong commitment to fairness and accountability. Earlier in his life, his service in the Peace Corps taught him to <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">identify community needs and take initiative</strong></span>, lessons that continue to shape his leadership. Colleagues describe him as kind, principled, and hard-working—values he's demonstrated by standing up for workers’ rights and creating supportive, accountable workplaces.</p><p>Tom is a husband, father, grandfather, and longtime community volunteer who believes <strong>leadership means staying in close conversation with the people you represent</strong>. He plans to hold regular open office hours and build strong partnerships with cities and towns to address housing affordability, strengthen public health and healthcare access, and ensure every child feels welcome and supported in our public schools. At a moment when many people feel unheard, Tom is running to bring thoughtful, steady leadership and a deep commitment to service to the 9th Norfolk District.</p>

<p>I believe everyone deserves an affordable public education. As the former Board President of the Medfield Afterschool Program (MAP), and as the father of a local public school second grade teacher, I will fight for high quality  classroom instruction,  ambitious curricula, and multiple options available to students after graduation.</p><p></p>

Introduction

Quote

<p>When working families delay doctor's visits because of cost, when seniors ration medicine to pay rent, when uninsured workers go to an emergency room years late to fix a problem, that's more than a healthcare failure. That's the denial of the chance to live a full and dignified life. </p>

<p>The minimum household income to afford a moderately priced home in Greater Boston has surpassed $220,000, more than double what the median household earns. Young families are leaving the state. Working people are priced out of towns they have helped build. These are problems we can fix.</p>
