Candidate Statement

My name is Muriel Kramer, and I serve on the Planning Board. I have long been interested in planning for Hopkinton that truly contemplates and balances the priorities of the voters, the rights of property developers, and the concerns of neighbors affected by any development. A process that engages all stakeholders respectfully and considers thoughtfully the many and often competing priorities is necessary to both plan for and support growth that is revenue enhancingand in keeping with the small town charm of Hopkinton, the reason so many of us first moved here.

I am ready to re-engage more actively in town government. I have served on the Board of Appeals (2002-’04), chaired the Master Plan Committee (2004-’06), and served as a selectwoman including two years as chair (2005-’08). I have also served as the Deputy Town Moderator (2009-2017) and as a Commissioner of Trust Funds (2014 – 2017).
