​About Commissioner Richard R. Staiti

The role of County Commissioner is to oversee the operation and expenditures of all of Norfolk County including the maintenance of the Court system, the Norfolk County Agricultural School, the President’s Golf Course, county roads and layouts, engineering, RSVP and other agencies under their supervision.

​My experience as a county commissioner combined with my years of service as a  selectmen, moderator and long time member of the county advisory board enables me to deal effectively and professionally with the many issues confronting county government in the decade ahead. 

​Norfolk County was the leading county in the commonwealth in the management  and the distribution of the ARPA funds to the cities and towns in the county.  Over One Hundred Million dollars in Federal funds was awarded to the twenty eight cities and towns in  Norfolk County.  These awards assisted the towns not only in improvement of  water and sewer infrastructure but also helped assist building  schools, fire stations,  playgrounds, water treatment plants, new roads , new parks and many other improvement across the county. We need to continue to investigate and explore new ways of producing revenue  and providing services  without increasing taxes. We need to expand the use of clean renewable energy in the county. We will continue to explore further use of the newly created sealer of weights and measures to serve our member communities.

​I am a dedicated civil servant who believes in the power of any governmental position to serve the people for the greater good of all. As I have over the past four years, I have been honored to serve you and  bring my skills for collaboration, for transparency and for honesty to this position to improve upon our county. 

I would appreciate and value your vote and support September 3 in the Democrat Primary.
