Robert Hedlund, who has served as Weymouth's mayor for nine and a half years, announced his resignation effective July 15. In a heartfelt Facebook message, he expressed gratitude for his time in office and confidence in his successor, Michael Molisse, who will act as mayor until November elections. Hedlund, also a former state senator for 21 years, did not disclose the reasons for his early departure but praised his staff. His resignation marks a significant transition in Weymouth's political landscape, aligning with the upcoming Town Council races.
"It is with profound gratitude and appreciation that I have made the difficult decision to step down as Mayor of Weymouth. I am confident that I am leaving Weymouth in very good hands and that the future will only continue to get brighter."
"This will preclude the need for additional costs that would have been necessary with a special election."
"While I am leaving the office of Mayor, I maintain my deep interest in what happens in town."
