Meet Dan

Many of you know me, but for those of you who do not allow me to introduce myself.   My name is Dan Carty and I am proud to announce my candidacy for reelection to your Sudbury Select Board.

It has been a privilege to serve you in this capacity for the last seven years.  About 25 years ago my wife Maura and I chose Sudbury to raise our family for its sense of community, open space, and strong schools.  Our three children all went through Sudbury Public schools;  two have graduated from Lincoln-Sudbury and moved on to college while our youngest still attends.   In my years on the Select Board I have served as liaison to both the LS and SPS School Committees.  My wife has been and continues to be active in multiple facets of our schools.   I think it is safe to say we are knowledgeable about them and fully engaged!   Public service is important to me; I attended the University of Massachusetts at Amherst on a full academic scholarship and have always felt that volunteering my time and effort was a small price to pay for the education I was afforded by our taxpayers.  While I am certainly proud of my time on the Select Board, and the Planning Board before that, I have received great gratification from hands-on activities like coaching our youth in ice hockey, football, and baseball and volunteering for organizations that support our greater community, like the Boy Scouts and HopeSudbury. 

Professionally I work as the Director of Business Process Excellence for a large national diagnostic laboratory.   In other words, I earn my living by continually analyzing and improving processes to best benefit our customers and patients.   My knowledge and skills were certainly put to the test during COVID-19;  the department where we performed this testing on a busy day topped out at around 1,000 patients served.   My team’s task was to operationalize the expansion of capacity to 25,000 per day.  With common sense and some applied discipline our capacity increased, our turnaround time decreased, and our cost per engagement dropped.   This experience afforded me many sleepless nights, but also reinforced how vital leadership and collaboration are in both times of a bona fide crisis and ‘normal times.’  It has allowed me to look at municipal government through a similar lens and be able to differentiate value, importance, and waste, and to truly listen to the voice of the customer – you, the taxpayer.   You and you alone define municipal value.

I have been humbled multiple timed by the voters of Sudbury who first entrusted me as an elected member of the Planning Board, followed by electing me three times to your Select Board where I have served as both Chair and Vice Chair.  Along the way I have chaired our Strategic Financial Planning Committee for Capital Funding, currently chair our Transportation Committee, was Vice Chair of our Bruce Freeman Rail Trail Advisory Task Force, and served on our Master Plan Steering Committee.   I've served as liaison to many other elected and appointed bodies, and have developed relationships with many of our senior staffers and have gained a string understanding of their goals and challenges. 

I know how our local government currently works and have a vision of how it could be better.  

With that our work is not yet done.  Stay tuned to this space over the coming weeks to learn more about me and my vision and how it relates to your voice.

It has been my honor to serve you for three terms. One more time I humbly ask for your support on Monday, March 25.  

Yours in Service,

Dan Carty, 15 Stonebrook Road
