QUINCY —

City Councilor John Keenan announced his candidacy for state Senate on Friday. The Democrat published the news on his web site and Facebook page.

“It is time for us to end business as usual on Beacon Hill, and I am greatly looking forward to having honest conversations in every neighborhood in the district about our future and how we can change the direction of our state,” said Keenan in a press release.

During his six-year tenure as Councilor at large, Keenan was involved in shaping a multi-million dollar budget cut and government reforms that helped to balance the city’s budget and lower single-family tax bills.

In addition to his position as city councilor, Keenan has sat on the city’s board of zoning appeals. He is also is a member of the Merrymount Association and the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library, and a youth basketball coach.
