I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Laurie Loisel as the best choice for City Council from Ward 3. Laurie has 40 years of broad and deep experience in Northampton, from working at the Gazette, for our district attorney and raising her family. Her news background taught her to be thorough in her research and tempered in her thoughts. She is profoundly progressive yet remarkably self effacing. She is open to everyone and always thinks things through. Her roots in Ward 3 are 40 years strong. I hope you will join me in voting for Laurie Loisel on Nov. 4.
