Bailey for State Representative

Charlie for State Representative!

I am running for the 10th Norfolk District of  in this November’s General Election. I am a Fiscal Conservative and see all too well the impact this economy is having on our middle class and seniors.

My focus would be to mange well the financial resources of the Town of Franklin so we can keep our taxes down and provide the level of services and education that my children were able to benefit from.

Providing a safe community for everyone is something I feel very strongly about. I would work to procure funds so that we can have adequate staffing and progressive training for our public safety.

I welcome the opportunity to be part of the Franklin Town Council and ask for your vote on November 5th.

Respectfully,
Charles Bailey

Committed to Local Communities

I wasborn in Walpole, MA and attended Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School in Franklin. I enlisted in the military after graduating and served for over six years on active duty in the U.S. Army Infantry. My wife Annamaria and I were married in 1990 and eventually transitioned back into civilian life. In 1993 we bought our first home in Franklin and started our family. I became an EMT in 1994, a Paramedic in 1996 and entered the Fire Service in 1999.

I proudly served the community of Franklin as a Firefighter / Paramedic for twenty years. Anna and I raised our two children, Daniel, and Brianna, in Franklin, and they were both educated in the Franklin school system. Dan graduated from Franklin High School in 2013, attended Wentworth Institute of Technology and then Drexel University for graduate school. He now works as a Systems Safety Engineer for General Dynamics Mission Systems. Brianna graduated from Franklin High School in 2015, went to Emmanuel College and then Boston University where she earned her Master’s in the Medical Sciences. She’s currently attending Touro University in NYC and is studying to become a Doctor of Pharmacology.

I served as Local 2637's Union President at the Franklin Fire Department for 3 years, coached with the Franklin youth hockey program, and later coached the Clark University hockey team for 3 seasons. I completed my BA in Psychology at Dean College in Franklin and began teaching high school special education after retiring from the FFD. When the pandemic struck, I returned to the field to work as a Mobile Integrated Health Paramedic treating patients in the comfort & safety of their own homes. I am a proud member of Franklin VFW Post 3402 and President of the 2/87 Catamount Chapter of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division.
