Kohn issues a ‘call to action’ to meet Hull Light’s energy goals
Greetings, neighbors. I am Mark Kohn, your best candidate for Hull’s Municipal Light Board, steadfast in the commitment to a sustainable future for our beautiful town.
Why I stand out:
• Local investment: Sixteen years as a Hull property owner; four years as a devoted resident.
Current member of Hull Clean Energy Climate Action Committee (CECAC).
• Expertise: Retired radiation physicist, adept in managing complex, high-stakes environments with a track record of innovative problem-solving.
• Leadership: Managed a $5-million healthcare department, overseeing operations, managing budgets, and maintaining stringent compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state regulations.
Vision for Hull:
• Green Community champion: Hull deserves every opportunity to thrive with green initiatives. It’s time to harness our potential for clean energy and financial growth through Green Community status, which our town has yet to join, missing out on many grant opportunities.
• Strategic initiatives: I propose robust measures to elevate Hull’s energy independence, positioning us as leaders in clean energy while securing our town’s energy infrastructure against external vulnerabilities.
My key areas of focus as your next light commissioner:
• Secure grant funding to improve our efficiency and reduce ongoing costs, and improve our carbon footprint.
• Hold National Grid accountable for the lack of maintenance of their critical infrastructure that we are solely dependent upon for all of our energy.
• Explore ambitious energy projects, paving the way for Hull to become a net energy exporter and eliminate our reliance on National Grid’s infrastructure.
• Advocate for ratepayer-first policies, including supporting residential solar projects and low or no-cost energy efficiency financing.
Let’s elevate Hull together:
This campaign is more than a run for office; it’s a call to action for Hull to be recognized as a beacon of environmental responsibility and innovation. We are at a pivotal moment, and with your support, we can transition from the bottom 20% into a model of excellence.
Vote Mark Kohn on May 20 – for responsible leadership, committed action, and a sustainable and more reliable light plant for Hull. Thank you for your support, and see you at the polls.
