As a former Framingham School Committee member, I know how important it is to have City Councilors who understand the full scope of city operations—not just one issue or department. We need leaders who roll up their sleeves, focus on results, and don’t worry about photo opportunities or political credit.
By those measures, Mary Kate Feeney stands out. She’s exactly the kind of steady, thoughtful leader Framingham needs to move forward and reach its potential. A lifelong resident and small business owner, Mary Kate understands our city from multiple perspectives. She’s collaborative, practical, and focused on getting things done—not on political games or rehashing old disputes.
If you live in District 3 and want an efficient, well-run city that supports its residents and local businesses, please join me and my family in voting for Mary Kate Feeney for District 3 City Councilor on Tuesday, November 4.

Mary Kate has been a pivotal force in promoting Framingham's trails, especially the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. As part of a dedicated trio of advocates, she played a crucial role in founding Friends of Framingham Trails. Her efforts not only enhance our local trail systems but also foster connections among our communities, ensuring that everyone can access and enjoy these vital outdoor spaces. Thank you, Mary Kate, for your unwavering commitment to trail advocacy and community accessibility.

Few people care about Framingham as deeply as Mary Kate Feeney. It’s in her DNA. I’ve had the honor of partnering with her for years, and I’ve seen her lead on key issues that matter most to our community — always with compassion, integrity, and a collaborative spirit no matter the circumstances. She listens, learns, and works tirelessly to understand what residents are most passionate about. Her dedication and leadership make her a vital voice for Framingham and a tremendous asset to the City Council.

Mary Kate Feeney is the kind of leader every community deserves — informed, accessible, and deeply committed to bringing people together.
Her career has been defined by public service, not politics. From her time working alongside Governor Deval Patrick, where she learned how government truly works by listening and collaborating, to her recent work as the creator of The Ham’er newsletter and podcast, Mary Kate has consistently shown up for Framingham.
She doesn’t just talk about civic engagement — she builds it. The Ham’er has become the essential source for residents who want to understand what's happening in Framingham and why it matters. With her podcast, she amplifies the voices of neighbors making a difference. She’s not only informing the public — she’s empowering them.
Mary Kate Feeney is our best advocate because she believes leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice — it’s about bringing people together to solve problems. That’s the kind of leadership Framingham needs.
I’m proud to support her.
Matt Woolhouse, District 3 resident
