Sullivan Takes Over as Seekonk BOS Chairman

Posted

Justin Sullivan was named as the new Chairman of the Seekonk Board of Selectmen Wednesday. Chris Zorra will serve as Vice-Chair and David Viera will serve as Clerk.

“The next year is going to be challenging for all of us,” said David Andrade, who served as chairman for four years.

“There’s some big shoes to fill,” Sullivan told Andrade. “You’ve helped me a great deal in terms of getting a better understanding of the board. “It’s important that we all work together.”

Viera warned newly elected selectman Adam Petronio about the potential for receiving negative feedback from residents, especially on social media.  “We get criticized an awful lot,” Viera said. “In somebody’s eyes, you’re going to do the wrong thing no matter how hard you try.” “I have a very thick skin,” Petronio replied.
