I’m Troy S. Goodman, and I’m running for the North Attleboro Town Council because I believe in practical, common-sense solutions that focus on responsible governance and respect for individual freedoms. Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the opportunity to lead in various industries, improving operations, building strong teams, and aligning strategies to meet business goals. My service in the Army National Guard reinforced my ability to lead under pressure, adapt to challenges, and work with diverse groups toward a common mission—skills that will be invaluable in guiding our town forward. Additionally, my Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership has given me a deep understanding of how to build effective systems, drive efficiency, and foster collaboration—essential qualities for responsible town governance. Now, I’m excited to bring that experience and problem-solving mindset to the town council, helping to make North Attleboro an even better place to live.
I’m a fiscal conservative, which means I believe in running government like a household—living within our means, prioritizing spending, and ensuring we’re not overtaxing our residents. At the same time, I believe we need to invest in the future when appropriate. I’m a socially libertarian thinker who values personal freedom and believes government should stay out of the personal choices of its citizens. I think we need to make decisions that focus on what’s best for everyone without overreach.
My family and I are deeply rooted in this community. Both of my daughters graduated from the North Attleboro school system, and my wife spent many years as a substitute teacher here and on RTM, giving back to the community we call home. On Fridays, I can be found at the Providence Rescue Mission helping those in recovery learn basic computer skills so they can be better prepared for life after the mission. We’ve seen firsthand how important it is to have a community that supports and nurtures its people, and I’m eager to bring that perspective to the table.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with organizations of all sizes, both here in the U.S. and internationally, helping them navigate challenges and create lasting solutions. I know what it takes to listen, collaborate, and make things happen, and I’m committed to using those same skills to serve our town. My goal is to bring data-driven, business-minded, and respectful leadership to the table to help North Attleboro continue to thrive for everyone who calls it home.
Thank you for considering me to represent our town. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to make a real difference for all of us.
