Albert “Trey” Fuccillo was elected as a Marlborough Ward 6 city council member at the age of 21, making him one of the youngest city councilors in Marlborough’s history.
Fuccillo received 792 votes, or 68 percent of all ballots cast, according to unofficial results posted by the City Clerk’s Office Tuesday night. His opponent, Maureen Brennan, garnered 380 votes, or 32 percent. There were five write-in ballots and 56 blank ballots submitted.
“I’m so honored that the voters of Ward 6 chose me to represent them. They put their trust in me, and now I’m ready to deliver on the promises of our campaign. From addressing the housing and affordability crises to improving our roads and infrastructure, I’ll work with my council colleagues to create the Marlborough we deserve,” Fuccillo said in an email statement to the Beacon.
A lifelong Marlborough resident and junior political communications major at Emerson, Fuccillo will take after incumbent Sean Navin, who ran for and won one of four at-large seats in Marlborough.
Fuccillo’s campaign aims to address the housing crisis, protect outdoor spaces, support city services, stimulate economic growth, invest in schools, and stand up to big out-of-state developers. According to his campaign website, he plans to “prioritize sustainable development that revitalizes unused or abandoned buildings,” increase affordable housing stock, partnering with Fort Meadow Commission to preserve the lake’s natural shoreline, among other initiatives. He hopes to protect Marlborough’s small-city charm while achieving its potential, according to a press release.
Fuccillo previously worked as an intern in the Office of Mayor Arthur G. Vigeant at Marlborough City Hall and the Marlborough Community Development Authority. Additionally, he was the deputy director of campus engagement for Governor Maura Healey’s election campaign in 2022.
At Emerson, Fuccillo works for the college’s Office of Student Accessibility Services as a notetaker. He was also part of the college’s baseball team.
Fuccillo will be inaugurated on Jan. 1.
