Kalkut Announces Campaign For State Representative

NORFOLK, Mass. - Feb. 17, 2022 - PRLog -- Norfolk resident Kevin Kalkut is proud to announce his intention to run for State Representative of the 9^th Norfolk district in Massachusetts.  The seat, which was recently announced will be vacated by Shawn Dooley, covers the communities of Norfolk, Plainville, Wrentham, and parts of Medfield, Millis, Walpole. Kalkut has been honored to serve on the Norfolk Select Board for the last four years, two of them as Chair.

Kalkut's decision to take the next step in his political career came after speaking with several of his constituents regarding their concerns not only within their respective towns, but larger issues that affect the communities district-wide.

"It has been a privilege to serve my community of Norfolk and implement strategic initiatives that have directly impacted our town for the past two terms," said Kevin Kalkut. "I'm eager to continue to make forward progress on several key district wide issues and ensure that all residents are proud to call the 9^th district their home for years to come."

Kevin Kalkut's platform will address the following critical areas of need:

• Ensuring that critical state-funding commitments are kept to lessen the impact to taxpayers in residential-levy-heavy municipalities.
• Prioritizing preservation of the rural appeal of these communities while responsibly planning for balanced growth.
• Strengthening schools and educational systems that have supported our children amidst impossible conditions.
• Increased transparency at all levels of state and local government.
• Enhance engagement with residents/businesses, regardless of perspective or opinion, to best represent the constituency as a whole and develop public-driven policy.

In addition to his second term on the Select Board, Kalkut also represents Norfolk on the Norfolk County Advisory Committee. Prior to his time on the Select Board, he was a member of the Planning Board as well as the B1 Zoning Working Committee. Within the community, he volunteers as a member of the Norfolk Lions, has coached Norfolk Youth Soccer as well as Millis Flag Football and currently coaches S.C. Norfolk soccer.
