Press Release: Mayoral Statement on Health Concerns

We wanted to share the following attachments with you after receiving a public records request from GDT, with our legal department helping to review the exact documents. Our administration values transparency, integrity and process – that is why we are sharing our narrative to go along with these previously requested documents so as to ensure we are addressing the concerns previously issued by members of the health department. We are following a legal process and as this is a public request resulting in public documents, we are sharing this to help offer the mayoral perspective which has yet to be heard.
To state again and as seen in the response: to put it simply, the pandemic was very hard on all of us. My single focus was on Gloucester and its citizens (and it always will be as your mayor). I am proud of what my administration has done. There was no handbook on the pandemic so, throughout, I remained committed to the citizens of Gloucester and I have fought every single day on their behalf and that is what I believe a mayor should do.
Thank you to Good Morning Gloucester to help finally share our narrative and let’s continue to move our city forward, together.

Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken
