Ellen Nigrosh: Supporting Laurie Loisel for Ward 3

Published: 02-04-2025 5:01 PM

I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Laurie Loisel in her recently announced candidacy for City Council, Ward 3.

Laurie is a longtime Northampton resident who knows our city well. Covering the city for many years as a journalist for the Gazette has given her a deep understanding of our city government and the issues facing the council. She is a thoughtful, well-informed person who examines issues thoroughly.

She will respectfully consider and discuss differing points of view. She will do her homework, participate constructively in the work of the council, and be ready to vote at meetings. I don’t expect that she will always agree with me, but if she doesn’t, I know she will consider my thinking and explain hers. She will do a terrific job as our city councilor and I hope you will join me in supporting her.
