James Coughlin and Walter Hubley, recognized for neighborhood efforts by the Quincy City Council.

As the former president of the Montclair/Wollaston Neighborhood Association, I had the privilege of working closely with Walter Hubley for many years. Together, we built a strong partnership grounded in shared values, community service, and a commitment to advocating for our neighborhoods.

For over 15 years, Walter has been a driving force in the Wollaston Hill Neighborhood Association, working tirelessly to support his neighbors and strengthen our sense of community. Walter and I found many opportunities to partner—through events like the Pumpkin Spice Festival, the Saturdays in the Park concert series, and the citywide cornhole tournament, we brought residents of Montclair and Wollaston Hill together for shared, memorable experiences.

Walter was a supportive partner on strategy and advocacy to help oppose the 0 Harriet Avenue development proposal—a plan for a 65-unit multi-tenant complex and ten townhomes on sensitive wetlands. I was proud to work alongside him and many other neighbors to ensure that our voices were heard and the character of our neighborhood preserved.

In 2019, the Quincy City Council formally recognized Walter and me for our efforts to protect and enrich the neighborhoods we love. I know firsthand the dedication, integrity, and vision Walter brings to every initiative he takes on.

That’s why I am proud to endorse Walter Hubley for Ward 3 City Council. I encourage you to vote for him on Tuesday, November 4th. With your support, Walter will continue to make a lasting, positive impact for all of Ward 3.

Sincerely,

James P. Coughlin

Former President, Montclair/Wollaston Neighborhood Association
