To the Editor,
I would like to encourage you to consider voting for my friend, Eileen Duff, for Southern Essex Register of Deeds on November 5th. The Southern Essex Registry of Deeds records real estate transactions such as mortgages and deeds for 30 communities on the North Shore. Eileen Duff has been a real estate agent for 20 years in our area and used the Registry as a customer all those years. Eileen has a deep and practical understanding of the law and the courts and their relationship with the Registry. Duff has an MA in Management with a specialty in Organization Development and is the only candidate with management experience. She is better prepared to run the organization. Eileen told me that cyber fraud and AI fraud have become serious issues in other states and she expects it may impact our Registry in the near future. She has been taking MCLE Bar classes to become informed about these challenges and learn what can be done, and will work with the Secretary of State’s office to find solutions. Her great energy shows she has the capacity to do this job, which is to look out for the interests of current and future property owners. For five terms, Eileen was our representative on the Governor’s Council, from which she has resigned to run for Register. She has come to speak to the Manchester Democratic Town Committee in person and on zoom several times, and she’s always been very responsive to questions and helpful. For these reasons, the Committee has endorsed Eileen Duff. We think Eileen Duff would be the best candidate to be the next Southern Essex Register of Deeds.
Please VOTE for Eileen Duff.
I would like to encourage you to cast your vote also for Eunice Zeigler, who is seeking to replace Eileen Duff on the Massachusetts Governor’s Council. The Governor’s Council is composed of eight individuals elected from their respective districts every two years. The Council meets weekly to record advice and consent on warrants for the state treasury, pardons and commutations, and gubernatorial appointments such as judges, clerk-magistrates, public administrators, members of the Parole Board, Appellate Tax Board, Industrial Accident Board and Reviewing Board, notaries, and justices of the peace. Manchester is one of 36 towns and cities in the 5th District of the Governor’s Council and Eunice Zeigler, who lives in Methuen with her husband and children, would like to represent us. Eunice Zeigler was elected to the Methuen City Council and served from 2018 to 2023, chairing the council for a time. She has a BA in Political Science and an MA in Economic & Social Development from the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. She has held roles with the City of Haverhill, the Lowell Housing Authority, and the YWCA Northeastern Massachusetts. She now serves as vice president of strategic planning & administration at Emmaus in Haverhill. The Manchester Democratic Town Committee has also endorsed Eunice Zeigler to be on the Governor’s Council.
Please VOTE for Eunice Zeigler.
Thank you,
Michele Kulick,
Manchester
