Hometown values and hard work

Five years ago, Bridget ran for the Westfield City Council because she wanted to improve her hometown. She has served as the chair of the finance committee for the past three years and has been working hard to keep Westfield a great community to live, work, and play.

Born at Noble Hospital and raised in Westfield, Bridget graduated from Saint Mary's Elementary and Westfield High School. She is married to her high school sweetheart Tim, a middle school teacher and Marine Corps reservist. They moved back to Westfield and have raised their four children in Bridget's childhood home.

Southampton Memories: One of Bridget's favorite things as a child was her family's frequent visits to Southampton to see her relatives the Cressottis. With her cousin Deanna, she spent time camping out on the banks of Red Brook, attending softball games at Conant Fields, and hiking through the forests and fields of the community.
