Mission
Our children are our foundation. Many of us view our children's lives as a measure of our success. I have one simple reason for running for Mayor of Lynn: I want my children to have the best possible City, period. I want every family in the City of Lynn to have a safe, happy, and healthy family experience, period. I understand the importance of family, education and giving back to my community.​
My name is Michael A. Satterwhite and I am a candidate for Mayor.
Picture
It is tough to envision the goals for the City of Lynn materializing without a leader that has the background, experience and knowledge of our City and how to deliver the needs of our population.

Growth, which is sometimes slower than we want, must be steady and controlled. I firmly believe we have laid a solid foundation from which to grow upward with our City. Lynn has a diverse population, some of the brightest students and a community that is hungry for growth. We must not leave anyone behind and we must listen to the voices in our community. In the book I am currently reading it states “it is better to die trying than die dying”. We should not stay in the same place and do the same thing. We can do better for our City. I hope to earn your support for Mayor.
