To the Residents of Weymouth:
It is with profound gratitude and appreciation that I have made the difficult decision to step down as Mayor of Weymouth after nine and a half years, effective July 15, 2025.
Reflecting on my tenure as Mayor, it has been a privilege and honor to have repeatedly earned the trust of Weymouth residents, not only as Mayor but also during my 21 years as State Senator, and to have worked with dedicated Town of Weymouth department heads and employees whose only goal has been to improve the lives of Weymouth residents, whether by honoring our history, improving our schools, public safety, roadways and public spaces, infrastructure upgrades, or revitalizing our economy and environment.
I could not have accomplished all that has been accomplished without each and every one of them. I am confident that 1 am leaving Weymouth in very good hands and that the future will only continue to get brighter. Many of the town staff I have worked with over the last nine and a half years as Mayor are some of the most dedicated and hardworking people I have associated with in my governmental and private sector career.
The timing of my resignation will allow the Town Clerk to schedule the election for Mayor to occur in conjunction with the Town Council races this November. This will preclude the need for additional costs that would have been necessary with a special election.
The town will continue to be served well by Chief of Staff Ted Langill and acting Mayor Mike Molisse, along with our very dedicated and able department heads.
While I am leaving the office of Mayor, I maintain my deep interest in what happens in town. I will remain an engaged citizen of Weymouth and available for advice should I be asked.
Thank you for the honor of serving as your Mayor. -Bob
Good riddance to MAGA rubbish #weymouthMA The most vindictive person I’ve ever had the misfortune of knowing personally.
