I want to give a huge thank you to the Lynn Teachers Union for hosting all nine School Committee candidates for yesterday evening's forum. I am so appreciative of the opportunity to discuss my vision for Lynn Public Schools.
Today, Lynn Community Television launched their comprehensive election coverage, overseeing the upcoming school committee, city council, and mayoral races. I'm thrilled to have my own recorded candidate profile produced by the talented team at LCTV, viewable here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fppz...
Want to help us get out the word about our campaign? Word of mouth is the most powerful force in grassroots campaigning. Consider having some friends and neighbors over for a coffee or dinner to meet Tristan. Reach out to campaign manager Aalina Tejada Lara at Aalina@SmithForLynn.com to schedule!
I was so happy to get to start my day today reading to the Kids in Community program at Connery. It was great to be back in a classroom! Thanks to my good friend Audrey Jimenez for the invitation. Double pride in seeing several of my current and former student-athletes working there as staff!
I am reposting this graphic from Lynn Public Schools - I encourage all to attend this forum about one of the most modern issues facing our students: cell phones.
Just a few photos from a terrific day at the Lynn Democratic City Committee ice cream social on Sunday! It was an honor to see and hear from so many distinguished guests. As Chair of the Ward 5 Democratic City Committee, I was proud to play a small role in making this event possible!
I am thrilled to announce that we made it on the ballot! We had even more signatures than we turned in!
I am so thankful to all who helped collect signatures and to all who signed.
Happy Independence Day! Our country was founded on principles of equity, justice, and freedom for all. Fully embodying that ideal has been a struggle - and one we've never fully lived up to.
Today, let's celebrate what our country is. Tomorrow, let's fight to make it into what it can be.
Back from vacation and back to the campaign trail! I was honored to attend the Lynn Senior Centerโs first annual luau and partially sponsor the food from Fantasy Island. Thank you to the entire team who made it possible and to the seniors for having me! Thanks to Councilor Coco for the photo!
Whether it is sunny or rainy (and it has been very rainy!), we are out there hitting the streets and knocking doors to hear from and listen to the voters of Lynn. Want to join us? We'll be hosting community canvasses coming up. Sign up here to get involved: www.smithforlynn.com/get-involved
I would like to congratulate the Lynn Teachers Union on ratification of their new contract. Additionally, congratulations to all of the elected officers for 2025-2027, including incoming President Phil O'Connor!
I want to thank everyone who made today's signature gathering drive a great success! A beautiful day at the Common, pizza from Superior, and getting out there to meet voters where they are at.
Throughout this week, we saw our Lynn Public School class of 2025 walk across the stage and accept their diplomas. The world needs you, LPS grads. Congratulations and we look forward to all that you accomplish along your journeys!
I'd like to thank everyone who made our 2025 Lynn All City Championship a huge success. It is wonderful to be one of the co-creators and directors of this event. A HUGE congratulations to all who participated, especially our 2025 champions, Tech!!

THANK YOU to all who attended our campaign kickoff at Rolly's Tavern tonight. Here are just a few of the photos from the event - more to follow! The energy was unbelievable as we set the stage for the campaign ahead. Thank you to ALL who made it possible. Today was just the beginning!
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Happy Passover to all who celebrate!
Great morning on Sunday starting my day at breakfast with friends, and thanks to my dear friend Kyle for being my first signer of my nomination papers!
Eid Mubarak to the students and families of Lynn, and all who celebrate!
We are excited to host at the legendary Rolly's Tavern Restaurants our in-person campaign kickoff. Additionally, we will have a virtual campaign kickoff later that week as well for those who cannot make it to the in-person kickoff for whatever reason. We hope to see you there at either (or both!).
