A new voice for new representation
I’m Manjula Karamcheti and I’m running for the Melrose City Council seat representing Ward 1. My goal is to be a trusted, responsive, and collaborative leader for all Ward 1 residents. I love Melrose and all it has to offer. As I became increasingly involved with our community—whether through the schools, city initiatives, or diversity, equity and inclusion efforts—I realized that I have a lot to offer Melrose and I want to use my experience to serve the city I call home.
