Council contenders rely on motivated, strong campaign teams
On a sunny Thursday afternoon, Helen Papadakis, 72, organizes the papers, business cards and flyers laid on the front desk at the John Papadakis campaign office in Ward 29. “I open the office, answer calls and speak with Greek people who don’t speak English,” she said. It’s part of her role in her son’s campaign to listen to constituents’ problems and to establish a general rapport with voters ahead of the Oct. 27 municipal election.
