Hi, I’m Kim Vandiver, Melrose City Councilor, Ward 5

I live near The Lincoln with my husband, our 2 young daughters, and our cuddly senior cat. We feel so lucky to have found a home close to everything — downtown, the Fells, a school, and transit. And, to have incredible neighbors and a tight knit neighborhood full of families and community events.

As a person who loves operations and process, I feel lucky to be a Councilor and get a detailed view at how our city runs. I also enjoy the times that I’m able to make an impact, whether by making a change or by sharing information with residents.

This year, I am focusing on supporting art and community in Ward 5. I sponsored the Melrose Creature Quest and am also sponsoring a Ward 5 artist for the upcoming 2025 Chalk Walk.

You can read more about my current focuses here and join the email list to get regular updates from me.

I support voting YES YES YES on Tuesday, November 4th in support of the Override questions.

Would you like to support my work? I would be grateful for any donations.

Thanks for visiting today!
