BenHarman42

My name is Ben Harman and I have been honored to represent Ward 4 on the City Council for the past two years. Serving on Budget and Finance, Community Services, Planning and Development, & Traffic Safety Advisory Committees I have learned so much and worked hard to be a representative you could be proud of.

Now, I’m running for an At-Large seat because I believe Newburyport is strongest when we solve problems together. My record shows I am a collaborative, pragmatic leader willing to work with anyone committed to progress. I will continue to build bridges, lower the temperature of debate, and keep our focus on the issues that matter most to residents.

What issues are most important to you? 

 

What You Can Expect From Me

I believe city government should be practical, transparent, and responsive. As your At-Large City Councilor, I will:

  • Lead with common sense — tackling challenges with practical, balanced solutions.

  • Build consensus — listening to all sides and finding common ground before decisions are made.

  • Move things forward — keeping our focus on results, not gridlock.

  • Be an independent voice — putting Newburyport’s best interests ahead of politics.

You can also count on me to be available and honest, and to make informed decisions guided by your input and the needs of our community.
