Hi!

My name is Ken Ruetenik and I’m running for District 13 Norfolk’s State Representative seat.  

I’m a Needham resident and graduate of the Needham Public Schools (NHS ’18) and I spent two years at the Charles River School in Dover. I studied finance at UMass Dartmouth and I currently work internally at a consulting firm. 

I’m running for election in hopes of getting people excited to get involved. I believe the divisiveness of the current political landscape has created an atmosphere where people with so much to offer shy away from participating. 

I’m worried that my generation, a generation full of ideas, a generation full of hope, and a generation ready for change is going to stay on the sidelines. 

We need your help. We want to feel heard, we want be seen, and most importantly we want to collaborate.

I’m optimistic, enthusiastic and energized by the opportunity to serve this community and to push for positive change on Beacon Hill together.
