Vote Yes on 3 November 6 (Tuesday!)
If you missed early voting, election day is Tuesday!

I'm a (mostly) lifelong Westwood (Islington) resident who is proud to serve as your mayor. I'm a 2002 Westwood High (the old one) graduate. When not working or being mayor, I captain Boston's Chapter of Have a Hart Day, am Volunteer Coordinator for the international Have a Hart Day organization, and am trying to establish Norfolk County's Chapter of Amnesty International. I also love spending time with my cats (whom I found on the Westwood Patch) and niblings. I'm a vegetarian, theatre geek, Youtube and social media lover.
I wanted this position because I believe the Westwood Patch could be better, so please email me with any story ideas, events, etc. My email is HeatherTappen@gmail.com
