The Mayor Talks Politics

Just before vacation, Mayor Judy Flanagan Kennedy came to visit with Mr. Harutunian's American Politics class at Classical. Mayor Flanagan Kennedy is an American success story. She grew up in Lynn and graduated from Classical High School. With short planning time and an extremely limited budget compared to her opponent, a very popular Chip Clancy, she won by a slight margin last November as a write-in candidate. Mayor Kennedy survived a voter recount. 

After her speech, the students asked a number of excellent questions. She handled them all with good humor and honesty. Mayor Flanagan Kennedy's personality and stature are really growing in this part of the community.
