Mr. Rosenberry’s extensive experience and deep understanding of municipal, state, and federal elections will be invaluable to the Election & Census Commission at City Hall, furthering the City’s mission to engage the residents of Lowell in the democratic process.

The City received 12 applicants for the Director of Elections position.
