Colleen Hilton

Former Mayor & School Committee Chair

“As a former Mayor, I know what it takes to serve in that role. Michael has spent 16 years serving the citizens of Westbrook. He has an ability to gather all pertinent facts before making a decision. He considers all aspects of the issues that come before him and is always well prepared. As Mayor, he will represent the interest of the entire City of Westbrook and be the leader to carry us into the future.”

John O'Hara

Former At-Large

City Councilor

“Although I have enjoyed working with our elected Mayors during my over two decades serving as a City Councilor At-Large, I feel that now is the time to move beyond our current leadership and bring forward someone with the ability to bridge where we have been to what we can achieve. Therefore, it is my strongest recommendation that the page be turned and a new chapter written to bring changes and bright new ideas to our great community. I believe standing City Councilor Michael Foley can steer and lead us into the next phase of great things for our beloved community. I strongly urge any and all to rally behind Michael and his candidacy for Mayor of the City of Westbrook.” 

John Bernier

Director

Cornelia Warren Community Association

I’ve known Michael Foley for 16 years since he began serving the community and I believe he has the skills Westbrook needs to secure our future. He is an experienced and effective leader who will do his homework, listen to everyone, and bring a common sense approach to issues facing our community.

His past experience on the school committee, city council, various boards & committees, and community organizations has equipped him with the valuable experience needed to lead our city as its top elected official. As Chairman of the Finance Committee and former Vice President of the City Council, Michael has developed proven skills with respect to budgets and public policy that clearly shows he is creative and skilled at working with budgets and people.

Michael is thoughtful about the issues our city faces. He has a well defined plan to address finances, economic development, public safety, and leadership for the future of our city. He is collaborative, smart, and knows how to get things done, He represents the next generation of leadership so beneficial to our city. I encourage everyone to join me in supporting Michael Foley for Mayor of Westbrook.

"Michael is a proven, positive leader. He works exceptionally hard to make Westbrook better for all of us. Please join me in supporting Michael Foley for Mayor!"

Ed Suslovic

Former Portland Mayor

& City Councilor

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike Foley on a range of regional issues for nearly 10 years. Mike always focuses on what solutions will work best for our region, not who gets the credit. He’s always willing to roll up his sleeves and lead by example. When METRO was facing a leadership challenge it was Mike that stepped up and pulled the board representing three different communities together to do the difficult work of reassessing what direction was best not just for METRO but for the entire region. His leadership is good for Westbrook as well as our region. I wholeheartedly encourage Westbrook residents to support Mike Foley for Mayor of Westbrook. Leaders like him deserve our support!"
