State Representative Timothy R. Madden
Originally from Charleston, SC, I began working summers on Nantucket in 1972 where I met my wife, Diane Pearl, a Nantucket native. Diane is a respected doctor with a private practice as an internist. I am a small business entrepreneur (two restaurants and a guesthouse over the years). We are raising our three daughters (Alexandra, Rose, and Molly) and recently celebrated our thirtieth wedding anniversary.
As a longtime Nantucket resident, I have been active in state politics and local town government. Prior to becoming your State Representative, I served as a Legislative Liaison for the past ten years, I have been the Chairman for The Nantucket County Commissioners and the Board of Selectmen; a Nantucket Land Bank Commissioner for five years; and I have served on numerous other boards and commissions. In 2008 I was elected State Representative to the Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket District.
Most recently Speaker Robert A. DeLeo has appointed me to the following three committees:
-
Committee on Enviroment, Natural Resources and Agriculture
-
Committee on Muncipalities and Regional Government
-
Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development
Public Service:
- Nantucket County Commission Chairman
- Land Bank Commission
- Board of Selectmen Chairman
- Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission
- Harbor Planning Committee, 1993
- Nantucket Civic League, President of Polpis Association
- Zoning Board of Appeals
- Board of Health, Chairman
- Town Meeting Moderator (Alternate)
- Town and County Charter Committee, Vice Chairman
As your State Representative, I promise to focus my efforts on the following:
- Stabilizing the cost of both homeowners and health insurance
- Improving and funding waste water treatment, landfill management and waste recycling
- Working to maintain State funding for education
- Gaining passage of our Home Rule petitions for local control
- Protecting our harbors and watersheds
- Affordable housing that works for your community
