Hi, I’m Caden Rhoton, and I’m running for Vineyard City Council.

Two years ago, I came close to winning a council seat, finishing just shy of the mark. But instead of stepping back, I leaned in. Over the past two years, I’ve served on Vineyard’s Planning Commission, helping shape key decisions regarding land use, growth, and infrastructure—issues that will define our city’s future for decades to come.

My family and I moved to Vineyard five years ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We love the vibrant energy, the parks and trails, and the tight-knit neighborhoods where our kids are growing up surrounded by friends. But what we love most is the spirit of this community: forward-looking, inclusive, and full of possibility.

In May, I graduated with an MBA from Boston University, where I strengthened my skills in leadership, finance, and collaboration, tools I’m ready to bring to the Council. I believe in smart growth, fiscal responsibility, and making decisions that reflect the values and priorities of Vineyard residents.

With a proven record of service and a commitment to thoughtful, community-first leadership, I’m running to help keep Vineyard moving forward with transparency, integrity, and optimism.

Leadership happens in our neighborhoods, not just online. You’ll find me out in the community: listening, learning, and working on real solutions.

For updates and to connect directly, follow me on Instagram at @cadenforvineyard or just reach out! I’d love to hear your ideas!

Let’s build what’s next. Together.

Vote Caden Rhoton for Vineyard City Council.
