From the official minutes kept by the Attleboro City Clerk (agendas and minutes). From the Attleboro Municipal Council’s official minutes, posted in the city’s Agenda Center. We check every count against the Councilors present and quote the exact wording. MassVoter never grades or scores officials. MassVoter never grades officials; votes and attendance are shown exactly as the minutes record them. Councilor photos: BallotReady candidate profiles (from the candidates). James DiLisio and Laura Dolan: from their candidate statements on DoubleACS, Attleboro’s access TV (DiLisio 2025, Dolan 2017). Former councilors without a photo show initials.
