Brian L. Flagg
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – North Adams City Council candidate Brian L. Flagg is holding a "Get Started On The Right Foot" event on Sunday, Aug. 2, from 1 to 5. Flagg and volunteers for his campaign will be walking through city neighborhoods introducing Flagg and his ideas to the community.

"I know many citizens here personally. However, I want to take this as an opportunity to meet the folks I may not know," said Flagg. "These people see names in the paper and online all the time but may not have an opportunity to ask them questions or voice their own opinions. This will give them the chance to put a face to the name."

Flagg has stated in previous communications that he will not hold fundraisers or actively seek donations to his campaign. Because of this, he realizes the importance of meeting citizens face to face.

"This is a difficult economic time," he said. "People have a difficult enough time feeding their families and paying their bills. I don't want them to have to pay money to come see me and ask questions. It is a privilege to serve and the citizens of this city should keep their money. I think they would appreciate someone taking the time to come visit them rather than the reverse."

Anyone wanting to volunteer for this event or to be part of the campaign can do so by calling 413-281-0069 or e-mailing FlaggForCityCouncil@gmail.com.
