My heartfelt thanks and warm regards to all the candidates who stepped forward with passion, dedication, and conviction to serve our town.

Democracy in Sudbury unfolded with its quiet strength, as neighbors made thoughtful choices that reflect both care and commitment to our shared future.

Thank you to Kevin Matthews and each and every candidate—for your hard work, your camaraderie, and your campaigns. In democracy, there are no winners or losers—only the strength of the process and the will of the people.

Congratulations to those who prevailed.

To all who supported me, advised me, challenged me, welcomed me at your doors, and lifted me up—I am deeply humbled by your trust. The town has spoken with clarity, and all of us heard it.

Now, the work begins.

I look forward to serving with purpose and gratitude, always guided by what is best for Sudbury.

I will work to strengthen our infrastructure, support our schools, expand recreational opportunities, and promote sustainability—while ensuring fiscal responsibility and protecting the inclusive, welcoming spirit that makes Sudbury so special.

I am honored to serve alongside my fellow Select Board members, including Lisa Kouchakdjian, who begins her second term. I look forward to working with her, our excellent town staff, and with every board and committee—each of which is made up of dedicated volunteers committed to making our town better.

Sudbury is a remarkable place, steeped in history and rich with possibility. As we’ve seen time and again, what begins here can inspire far beyond our moment.

Let us rise to meet that moment.

We have work to do. We have good work to do.

With gratitude,

- Radha Gargeya

I am Radha Raman Gargeya. I am running for Sudbury Select Board.

I taught Computer Science at Boston College and Northeastern University. I now develop system software in the private sector.

We have lived in Sudbury for 27 years. My family benefited immensely from this vibrant town, its civic-minded residents, and its excellent schools. My children attended Sudbury Public Schools and Lincoln-Sudbury High School.

During these years, I served in various roles. I believe public service is an act of gratitude.

As your Select Board Member, I will be laser-focused on:

LEADERSHIP, PLANNING and FINANCES

• Leadership – Fostering respectful dialogue and listening to all points of view to bring projects to fruition
• Planning – Establish a clear vision for Sudbury and implement it in a long-term capital plan we can achieve
• Finances  – Sustainable, well-communicated budgets will meet more resident expectations while maximizing efficiency

SCHOOLS

• Support our public schools to ensure they excel in meeting the needs of the whole child

QUALITY OF LIFE

• Inclusive Sudbury – It is critical, at this moment, for the Select Board to foster a sense of belonging for all residents
• Sustainability – We must preserve our natural resources, build resilience, and protect public health. It’s morally and fiscally prudent
• Public Safety – Support our emergency responders and public health experts without hesitation, as they do for us
• Recreation – A hallmark of life in Sudbury, which needs continued investment for health and community connection

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

• Vibrant Sudbury Commerce – Diversify our tax base through smart growth in our existing commercial corridors

These are not just words for me.

I have a proven record of achievement during my service on:

• Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee
  • Provided leadership in education, finances, sustainability, recreation, inter school-district collaboration
• Sudbury Walkway Committee
  • Created a comprehensive townwide walkway plan
• Now as the Chair of Sudbury 250 Committee
  • planning events for all of Sudbury to come together and commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution

I bring independence, collaboration, and a results-driven approach.

I am ready to work hard on behalf of you and our town.

My unchanging values are fairness, respect, inclusion, service, and responsibility.

I respectfully ask for your vote for Sudbury Select Board.
