East Hartford has entered a new chapter in the town’s history with the swearing in for its 11th Mayor in our strong Mayor form of government, which was adopted in 1967.

Mayor Martin is the youngest Mayor in East Hartford’s history and the first Mayor of color.

My goal is to create a culture of support, while creating a culture of accountability, at all levels. Customer service is my number one priority and, under my leadership, employees of the Town of East Hartford will work with an understanding that the resident satisfaction is our number one goal.

To the residents of East Hartford, we are going through a unique time and I know you can feel it. Under Mayor Mike’s administration, hard work has been done to start to turn the page to this new chapter in East Hartford. We now have momentum, energy, a renewed spirit, a strong sense of community, community engagement, economic development and a government who listens to your needs. We must use all of this to rebrand East Hartford.

Rebrand ourselves into a Town that no longer accepts the notion that we are a poor community. No longer accepts the negative narrative given to us by neighboring residents and residents here in Town.

The days of bashing East Hartford are over. We will now celebrate the things we do well and build off them and as always continue to acknowledge and work to improve the things we don’t do well. I’m simply ask residents to meet me half way. Because just like any municipality we will have our issues, but our issues will not define us.

Instead, our greatest strength will, which is our diverse population of people. People from all areas of the world calling East Hartford home. Exposing one another to the unique traditions, cultures and expressions of one’s ethnicity. Giving all East Hartford residents and visitors the opportunity to gain a world view and appreciation for people from all parts of the globe. You can see this diversity in the many restaurants, businesses and simply people living in East Hartford. Let’s celebrate East Hartford for what it is and for what it can be and make it a great place to live, work and play for all.

So as I enter this commitment with the great and beautiful Town of East Hartford, I say with a full heart and clear mind, let’s get to work.
