A New Face in Worcester Politics Tim Beaudoin

Tim Beaudoin's fundraiser was  last night and it was my first time at Neo's Cafe on Milbury St. in Worcester.

Also a  first is Tim's political campaign and I was surprised at how well organized and polished his campaign has been. He is certainly getting his name out and it looks like he has a good chance to win one of the City Councillors slots after the Preliminary next month.

Tim's family has been in Worcester for four generations and he attended Worcester Public Schools. He is a special needs teacher and helping children.  While holding a sign with him I saw him patiently talk with a man for a long while without once cutting him off. There is a rumor that Tim got this patience from his training as Buddhist monk. His mother told me that Tim was always, even as a child, independent and somewhat stubborn. She said that these traits later became fair mindedness and principles.

 When I met Tim several years ago he was a socialist, but has since moderated his thinking. He now seek out the small businesses of Worcester with the idea that building the neighborhoods is more important than the large projects like Union Station that drain money from the City. However Tim
has not entirely abandoned the Left as he has made an alliance with the Green- Rainbow to help with his campaign.

So good luck to Tim.  You will be a new face on the City Council and hopefully replace the arrogance of the likes of Lukes,
