About

Re-elected to serve Precinct 8

I've been proud to serve as your Town Meeting Member since first being elected, representing our corner of Belmont at Town Meeting and beyond. This spring, Precinct 8 sent me back for another term — and I don't take that trust lightly.

My focus remains the same: strong schools, a government that's efficient and responsive, and a Belmont that stays affordable and welcoming for everyone. From reforming town finances to my work on the Conservation Commission, the goal is always tangible progress for real people.

Priorities

What I'm working on

01

Streamline Permitting

Cutting red tape for new businesses and home renovations — maximizing growth revenues and reducing the burden on town staff and residents alike.

02

Shift Tax Burdens Fairly

Pursuing tax relief programs and reassessments to shift burdens toward those most able to pay, protecting working families and long-time residents.

03

Fast-Track Government Reform

Increasing the efficiency of town services to reduce costs and improve quality — because good government should work as hard as the people it serves.

04

Improve Housing Opportunity

Working to improve competition in the housing and commercial real estate markets to keep Belmont welcoming for new families and long-time neighbors.

Unlocking funds through fiscal reform

In 2023, Angus filed an article to finally address a thirteen-year-old recommendation to unify the Town's Finance Team and bring accountability to the Board of Assessors. Through his advocacy, this measure passed Town Meeting and at the ballot box. With fresh leadership, the Board of Assessors identified $600,000 to be returned to the town to support conservation and recreation projects.

Protecting Belmont's environment
