He told the large gathering of supporters, “Running for office takes a lot of commitment, dedication, and sacrifice. To serve the public, one must devote their time for the betterment of others, to address their concerns, to be there in time of need, to make tough decisions and to act in the best interest of your constituents.

“On the Council, I will be a voice of reason, a voice of determination, and a voice for all the people of Lynn.”

Figueroa said he would focus on three areas: education, the revitalization of the community, and job development.
