Josh Cutler and family

I'm Josh Cutler and I'm running for State Representative for the 6th Plymouth District (Pembroke, Duxbury, Hanson and Halifax).

As a newspaper editor I’ve always stood up for the public interest.  As a small business owner I know the value of a dollar hard-earned and well-spent.  As a former Selectman and Planning Board member I understand how to make government work for us.  Put it together and you get a representative who will fight to improve our quality of life and bring a fresh approach to Beacon Hill.

If you’re ready for a change I’d be honored to earn your vote on November 2. 

What people are saying...

“Josh took the time to sit with me in my kitchen, to listen to what my thoughts and opinions were.  He will truly represent the people of this district in an open and honest way!”
– Terry McSweeney, Hanson Board of Health

"Josh is just the kind of open-minded, hard-working representative we need up at the State House."
– Lew Stone, Pembroke Selectman

– Troy Garron, Halifax Selectman

“Josh doesn’t care if it’s a Republican idea or a Democratic idea, so long as it’s a good idea. He’ll always put our district first.”
– Joe Pelligra, Former Hanson Republican Town Committee member

–– Arthur Boyle, Pembroke Selectman

– Jon Witten, former Duxbury Selectman

"I serve with Josh on the Planning Board and have been so impressed by his commitment to the environmental concerns of Duxbury and the entire South Shore.  Additionally he always examines an issue with great thought, never afraid to ask the difficult questions, while treating all who come before our board with great respect."

“Josh will be a voice for reform and fiscal responsibility on Beacon Hill.”
– Libby Bates, Pembroke Board of Assessors

– David Hines, Duxbury

"I support Josh, because as a former Selectman and a member of the Planning Board, Josh understands the diverse needs of our municipalities and knows first-hand how actions at the state level affect local government. This is essential to protecting the interests of our towns from un-funded mandates and burdensome regulation."

We need this type of support on Beacon Hill."
–– Frank Duggan, Chairman, Duxbury Alternative Energy Committee

"Josh Cutler has consistently fought for open and accountable government. He's just the kind of leader we need on Beacon Hill."
– Dan Taylor, Pembroke Planning Board

– Margaret Kearney, Duxbury Selectman, 1993-2002

"Among the candidates running for this seat, Josh Cutler is the most qualified to carry on with the mission to better the lives of the working men and woman of the Commonwealth... We look forward to working with him in the creation of jobs and in any other areas that will better the lives of all the working men and woman of the 6th Plymouth District."

"You've got to give it to Selectman Josh Cutler. While other candidates for public office make all kinds of promises they have no intention of keeping. Cutler has put his time and talents to the townspeople's benefit on several important initiatives -- most notably the subcommittee studying the feasibility of municipal trash pickup and recycling, and now one to design and implement a municipal government website."
– Hull Times editorial, 2/24/2000

My father was my biggest suporter and one of my best friends. He died on February 28 at the age of 66 after a battle with cancer. This photo was taken two days prior when he received a visit from U.S. Marine corps soliders who presented him with this Vietnam-era hat. We miss him greatly.

The engraved bricks will be installed soon and then we just have to put up a few finishing touches and this great project will be ready to present to the citizens of Duxbury!

WATD interview
Written by Josh Cutler   
Wednesday, 06 January 2010 20:18

I had my first media appearance today on WATD (95.9FM) with Dave Skill. I talked about why I was running and my government and business experience. Dave also asked about my experience with the wind turbine in Hull which we are now trying to do in Duxbury. Had an enjoyable chat about politics with owner Ed Perry afterwards. Very nice folks over there at WATD (full disclosure: I'm a former intern!) There's an audio clip of the interview posted to the WATD website you can listen to by clicking here.
