LETTER: 85 East End Residents Endorse District A Council Candidate

Dear Neighbors,

We are a group of East End residents writing to endorse Nicole Gardner for District A Town Councilor and to encourage our neighbors to cast their ballots for Nicole on November 2nd! Nicole has the experience, values, energy, and expertise the East End needs today.

We need a business-savvy leader who can negotiate the rapid changes taking place in our neighborhoods. We need a leader with business experience who can help our beloved local businesses prosper. We need someone who understands the way local policies shape our neighborhoods—literally!—as more new developments are proposed across the East End. We need someone who is independent and strong enough to hold special interests accountable, who will make sure that all this new development improves the lives of all residents.

We need a leader who has a positive vision for the future of this community. Nicole has the intellect and foresight to make sure that we meet our climate action goals, expand and protect our green spaces, make investments in public safety and health, take steps to alleviate the cost of housing, and ensure that the East End becomes an even better place to live for every resident.

Finally, we need someone who can do the vital work of building an inclusive community. In her leadership roles with the Buy Nothing Group and Watertown Forward, Nicole has displayed the know-how, energy, and open-mindedness to bring people together for the common good. We need a leader like Nicole who can engage new arrivals and longtime residents, young professionals and retirees, renters and owners, people of all backgrounds and perspectives. The East End is stronger when we can all work together.

Nicole Gardner is the leader the East End needs. Please join us in voting for Nicole as District A Town Councilor on Election Day, November 2nd!
