About Tim

State Representative Timothy R. Madden

The Maddon Family

Originally from Charleston, SC, I began working summers on Nantucket in 1972 where I met my wife, Diane Pearl, a Nantucket native. Diane is a respected doctor with a private practice as an internist. I am a small business entrepreneur (two restaurants and a guesthouse over the years). We are raising our three daughters (Alexandra, Rose, and Molly) and recently celebrated our thirtieth wedding anniversary. 
As a longtime Nantucket resident, I have been active in state politics and local town government. Prior to becoming your State Representative, I served as a Legislative Liaison for the past ten years, I have been the Chairman for the Nantucket County Commissioners and the Board of Selectmen; a Nantucket Land Bank Commissioner for five years; and I have served on numerous other boards and commissions. In 2008 I was elected State Representative to the Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket District.

Most recently Speaker Robert A. DeLeo has appointed me to the following three committees:

  • Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture
  • Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government
  • Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development

 

Public Service:

  • Nantucket County Commission Chairman
  • Land Bank Commission
  • Board of Selectmen Chairman 
  • Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission
  • Harbor Planning Committee, 1993
  • Nantucket Civic League, President of Polpis Association
  • Zoning Board of Appeals 
  • Board of Health, Chairman
  • Town Meeting Moderator (Alternate)
  • Town and County Charter Committee, Vice Chairman

  

As your State Representative,  I promise to focus my efforts on the following:

  • Working towards reform in ethics and transportation and pension practices
  • Working towards greater transparency and accountability in Government
  • Ensuring that the Government spends tax payer dollars wisely 
  • Stabilizing the cost of both homeowners and health insurance
  • Improving and funding waste water treatment, landfill management and waste recycling
  • Gaining passage of our Home Rule petitions for local control
  • Protecting our harbors and watersheds
  • Affordable housing that works for your community
