I am writing to offer my support of Mayor Gina Louise Sciarra for a second term as Northampton’s mayor. I voiced support her first mayoral run and do so again because she shares my values, is smart and dedicated to our city. She listens to the people she represents and makes decisions, sometimes tough ones, that best maintain the services and infrastructure of our city while preserving its future. I am a retired public school teacher who believes that we should value all people and that it is our responsibility to contribute to our communities. Mayor Sciarra shows up to support people with disabilities, and on weekends has worked with volunteer crews that clean up the city’s trails. She is the real deal. Go to her website and read about her views, vision, and accomplishments and join me in supporting her for another term.
