Info

With 29 years in the commercial construction business, Brian Herr has seen small businesses struggle to address the challenges of today’s changing economy. Now Brian is running for the United States Senate because he believes that the key to putting America back on track is to elect leaders that approach problem solving with an open mind and a strong background in the private sector. Brian believes the dysfunction in Washington must come to an end and Massachusetts can lead the way once again!

As one of seven children to parents who emigrated from Ireland, Brian Herr brian-herr-and-wifelearned the value of family, hard work, and a dedication to public service.

Brian brings a strong record of success in municipal government. As Chairman of the Board of Selectmen in Hopkinton, Brian Herr cut the size of government, balanced the budget, and kept taxes low. Because of Brian’s leadership and management skills, S&P raised Hopkinton’s credit rating based on the town’s extremely strong economic characteristics, ongoing commercial and industrial development, and overall improved financial position during difficult economic times.
