TIna has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to Lexington and Lexington's future development. I endorse her vision for Lexington and encourage others to look at her track record and many accomplishments in making Lexington a great place to live! 

-Sam Redfield

As a professional planner, former Planning Board chairperson, and current Permanent Building Committee member, I find it encouraging that the Planning Board is having a competitive race for two seats. 

I strongly encourage you to consider Tina McBride for the Lexington Planning Board. Tina has worked on zoning and regulatory issues in Lexington for 10 years and brings a fresh new perspective to the land use, zoning and development opportunities facing the citizens of Lexington.

- Fred Merrill, FAICP

For the last ten years, I have observed Tina’s work as a Town Meeting Member and on zoning/planning issues. Tina is gifted with the trifecta needed for this demanding Board position: 

1) She understands Lexington’s zoning history and has a sustainable and inclusive vision for its future; 

2) She prepares fully before making decisions and monitors successes in other communities; 

3) She views listening to others as one of the major responsibilities of representing her constituents.

- Elizabeth DeMille Barnett, professional planner, AICP, recipient of Mass Housing Partnership’s Housing Hero Award in 2018

As a former Planning Board chairperson and member of Town residential committees, I strongly support Tina’s candidacy.  With her deep roots in Lexington and her involvement in Town planning and development issues over the last decade, she is well prepared to take on this responsibility.  She brings energy, a broad perspective, and an appreciation for the importance and complexity of sustainability as a guiding principle.

-Tom Harden, architect & former Lexington Planning Board Chair
