In the upcoming mayoral election in Milton, the incumbent mayor John Collier will be facing off against vice mayor Lee Revis Plank. Revis Plank initially wasn’t planning on running for mayor, but decided to enter the race when it appeared that Collier would be running unopposed. She believes that having multiple candidates is important for democracy as it gives the voters a voice.
Both candidates have emphasized the importance of financial stability and resiliency in the town of Milton. Collier is running on a platform focused on creating a community that remains affordable, resilient, economically stable, and safe. Revis Plank commissioned a study on the impact of sea level rise in the town, which led to a $5 million federal government award to address flooding issues.
Both candidates also support efforts to address affordable housing in Milton. Collier has worked on creating advisory opinions from organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Milford Housing Development Corporation. Revis Plank believes that collaboration with county and state legislators is crucial in tackling the issue.
The candidates agree that resiliency and economic stability are key factors in developing Milton. Election Day is set for Saturday, March 1, where residents will have the opportunity to choose their next mayor. The race between Collier and Revis Plank will offer voters two similar but distinct choices for the future of their town.
