Submitted to The Hingham Anchor by candidate Bob Keyes I am seeking re-election to the Housing Authority to carry forward my 26 year successful record dedicated to the Authority’s statutory mission: to offer a range of safe, decent, and affordable housing choices to serve moderate and low-income families, the elderly, veterans and people with disabilities. …
