On Cultivating Relationships: From the Serious Business of Government Interview, CLICK HERE This is what the Mayor said:
Question: Mayor Nicholson, the governor, cabinet secretaries, other dignitaries are often showing up at your door. Did you put a spell on them with your conductor’s wand or is there some other reason?
Answer: You know, it’s one of those. Again, you need to realize everyone who’s on your team working for the same thing. There’s a lot that Gardner has potential for, but we cant do it on our own. Just like our city departments cant work in silos, neither can cities and towns work in silos. If we build off of each other and work with our partners at the state, local and federal level, whether its regionalizing with someone else on an issue that’s here on the local level, working with our partners at the state level,finding ways to work with our congressional delegation, with the federal government, all of that comes back to the same goal that we have of building a stronger gardener for a brighter tomorrow. I’m really proud that both Governor Healey, Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, former Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karen Polito have all endorsed me in my reelection, because that was a strong part of their campaigns and their times and offices. And it shows that no matter what party you’re in, no matter what line people think you tow, we’re all here for the same goal. And that’s we need to work together for the betterment of the people who put us in office and those that voted against us in office, too, because it’s their home just as much as ours. And when you collaborate, work together, you get that perspective in an all real rounded picture.
