Meet Liz Mullane

As a career development professional with an MBA, I have a deep understanding of budget management, generating revenue streams and building out programmatic funding opportunities around critical areas like Library services, medical research and educational institutions.

My husband and I bought our home in Medford several years ago, and along with our two rescue dogs BJ and Brody, we have made Medford our forever home. I’ve been Chair of the Ward 2 Medford Democratic City Committee since 2021, and a member since 2019.

I want to listen, partner and work with every Medford resident to help further grow our city!
