Letter: Gammell for City Council

Letters to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in support of Keifer Gammell who is running for City Council in the city of North
Adams.

Keifer graduated from MCLA in 2011. He was involved in the Student Government, the Pi Epsilon Pi Fraternity and was a peer adviser among many other things. After graduating, he was very visible and active in the community. Having graduated from MCLA, he feels the importance for the students of MCLA to become involved here in North Adams and want to stay here after their education.

Keifer currently works for Mass MoCA as visitor services manager. He attends every event here in North Adams. He’s always willing to listen to people’s thoughts and ideas which is very important.

Keifer has also shown his ability to work along with other communities through his job at Mass MoCA. I urge the people of North Adams to vote for Keifer Gammell in the upcoming election on Nov. 7 and give him the opportunity to help the City of the North Adams to grow.

Gloria Felix
North Adams, Mass.

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
