In her second campaign since winning a third of the vote in her write-in campaign last year, Tricia Wurts is listening to residents on what they want from their town government — and how they want to hear about it.

Wurts has conducted surveys across town for the Redevelopment Authority to measure how residents learn about town business and if there are better avenues of communication for the town.

Residents feel frustrated, Wurts said, as they feel they don’t know what happens at Town Hall or how they can get involved as active citizens.

Wurts is also looking to see if the town can apply for more grants and review the town’s solar bylaws. She’s particularly opposed to the construction of large solar fields in residential neighborhoods.

“I ultimately believe that that is a huge problem,” she said, adding that she thinks fewer families will move to Wareham “because the rampant progression of solar is impacting what the quality of life could be.”

Wurts said one of the town’s strengths is its natural beauty.

“I think there is a huge opportunity for us to take advantage of our environment,” she said.

Between the town’s many miles of shoreline, Onset Village and downtown, Wareham offers many ways to find a “taste of the Cape” without suffering the long lines of summer traffic, she said.

Wurts got involved with Wareham politics through the “No to Notos” movement. The Quincy-based developer, the Notos Group, aimed to rezone hundreds of acres of land in East Wareham for a “Hospitality, Recreation and Entertainment” district, which voters shot down in a landslide 813-141 Town Meeting vote in 2021.

Her work background gives her a unique ability to analyze and problem-solve with an objective lens, she said.

She was inducted into the Technology Hall of Fame with fellow CompTIA A+ Originators for her work developing a standardized system and certification exam for technicians, which allowed people to be certified to work on computers made by any manufacturer.

Wurts also worked with large companies as a consultant at her own firm, helping them develop a vision for the companies’ future, and a roadmap to get there — big-picture planning skills she says she could use at the town level.

Her career history and experience talking with voters, in her eyes, give Wurts an understanding of what voters want and how that might be achieved.

“I think they should feel assured that I will do what I promise to do,” Wurts said.
