To the Editor:

As a North Adams city councilor, business owner, and community organizer, I know how essential strong, constructive, and collaborative leadership is for our city's future. My goals on the City Council are focused on setting North Adams up for long-term success. In pursuing these goals, I've collaborated extensively with Mayor Jennifer Macksey, and I believe we share a similar purpose.

Mayor Macksey has been a constructive, hard-working, and deeply caring partner. Whenever I see her around town, she greets people with warmth and a smile. While we don't always see eye to eye, I have faith in her leadership and her commitment to working with me and other community stakeholders to help North Adams truly shine.

I'll be voting for Mayor Jennifer Macksey on Nov. 4, and I encourage others to do the same.
