Dr. Peter Meaney
I was born to a working class family, my dad was a firefighter in Lynn who struggled with alcoholism and my mother was a factory worker at GE. At the height of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy because I felt a duty to this country. While most politicians are in it for themselves, I’ve spent my life serving others whether it be protecting our nation or caring for families in my dental practice.
I’m running for State Representative because you need a leader that is accessible, brings people together, and never stops working hard for you.
For more information you can email the campaign at info@peteforrep.com or call 617-304-5791.

Candidate Profile Videos
LCTV contacted all candidates running for elected office with an offer to record a video talking directly to Lynn voters. Below is a compilation video of all the candidate’s videos, with candidates in alphabetical order. Individual videos are linked in the candidate’s bio above.
Candidate Profiles will be airing on our Government Channel (Comcast: 22 / Verizon: 37) daily at times that will be announced at another time. If a city meeting that we broadcast live is scheduled, that meeting will play instead of these videos during the allotted time.
LCTV reached out to all candidates during this election cycle multiple times. If a candidate does not appear it means that they either missed the deadline or declined to participate.
Videos will be added here on July 27th
