New Bedford ~ Matthew (Matt) Morrissey for Mayor

“I’m running for Mayor because I’ve lost patience in the number of jobs we have lost. I’ve lost patience with a high school drop out rate of nearly 40% and I’ve lost patience with increased crime on our streets. I’m running for Mayor because I want to bring New Bedford back to being the place I grew up, a wonderful, thriving community in which my kids too will choose to raise their families.”
- Matthew Morrissey
