Theodore D. Mann

Theodore D. Mann

Theodore D. Mann (1922 - 1994) was the longest-serving mayor of Newton, Massachusetts (1972 - 1994). He was the son of Hyman "Honey" Mann and Lillian Epstein Mann. He had two siblings: Thelma Mann Barkin (1926 - 1995) and Robert Ralph Mann (1924 - ). His father was a state representative in the 1930s, and he was a state representative as well. Ted Mann was also the first Jewish mayor of Newton, Massachusetts.

During his tenure as mayor, there were a number of city improvements. While Mann was a Republican, he was able to build coalitions across party lines. The new main library was built and dedicated shortly after he died. The recycling program was expanded. Mann was a 'hands on' mayor, and never failed to show up at any Newton event until he was on his deathbed at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

He was part of the groundbreaking mission to Poland for the purpose of meeting with mayors in Warsaw and Krakow to work with newly-elected officials on how to govern in an atmosphere still clouded due to 30 years of Communist rule.

Grandson of immigrants, Mann lived the American dream - demonstrating how leadership can cut across class, ethnic, and economic lines.
