Biography

2019 League of Women Voters' Guide

Question 1: What are the one or two most critical issues in your precinct and/or the Town and how would you address them?
Question 2: Biographical data.

1. Increased density is the most visible critical issue in Precinct 5, Brookline. Climate change is the slower, but more looming critical issue. With change comes opportunity. Building fossil free schools, such as Baldwin and Driscoll, will mitigate overcrowding in all our schools and propel us into a greener future. We can find more solutions like this to the challenges Brookline faces on a myriad of issues. I will bring fresh perspective and new energy to the table and look forward to joining the esteemed membership of Brookline's Town Meeting for the next term. In the meantime, join me and VOTE YES on Question 1 for Brookline Schools.

2. Raised in Brookline and a former Lincoln School and Brookline High School parent, I am also a portrait painter, teach private drawing lessons and am an active climate advocate with Mothers Out Front. I'd love to hear from you at OliviaTMMP5@gmail.com
