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.

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

Thanks for visiting today!
