“Outside of Ward 5, I'm supporting Gwen Nabad for Ward 1 Councilor.”
~ Incumbent City Council President, Alex Jarrett

“I am endorsing Gwen Nabad to succeed me as Ward 1 city councilor because she is the only candidate with experience in Northampton municipal government who will bring a unique voice to the City Council and an understanding of the wide range of services required to meet the needs of vulnerable residents.

I urge you to join me in voting for Gwen in the preliminary election Sept. 16 and the general election Nov. 4.

Gwen stands for equity and a holistic approach to closing inequality gaps in housing, public education and responding to the climate crisis.

As chair of the Northampton Housing Partnership, Gwen understands the need to add housing at all income levels, while paying particular attention to providing for lower-income and working families, seniors and people with disabilities.

Gwen is a long-time renter in subsidized housing and the parent of children who received special education services in the public schools. She is active in Grow Food Northampton and a member of the Northampton Survival Center's client advisory committee. 

As a result of those experiences, Gwen is a strong advocate for tenants' rights; sustainable, inclusive schools; climate justice; and food security.

Gwen will listen to all her constituents and consider the needs of the entire city while bringing an independent voice to the City Council.”
~ Incumbent City Councilor for Ward 1, Stanley Moulton
