Letter: Gammell Would Be Asset on Council

Letters to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

We write today to express our support for Keifer Gammell, North Adams City Council candidate.

After graduating from MCLA in 2011, Keifer quickly found ways to be involved in North Adams. He was always eager to help out with any task no matter how big or small. His unique skill set and community involvement is impressive especially for someone who is only 28 years old.

One instance that stands out to us was two single day music events in 2012 called "MyGlo." Keifer and another MCLA alumnus, Jon Del Sordo, approached us to collaborate on the event. My Glo, held at The Range, brought in community members, MCLA students and even some tourism. The event would not have happened without his understanding of
collaboration and time management.

Keifer is equipped with knowledge and connections at MCLA, Mass MoCA, The North Adams Chamber and the North Adams Farmers market. These connections along with his commitment to his community would make Keifer Gammell a tremendous asset to the North Adams City Council.

Karen and David Bond
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.
