Attn: Northampton MA Voters -- Marjorie Hess for Library Trustee! Tuesday, Sept. 20

There is a preliminary election on September 20th in Northampton for several offices. I want to highlight the race for Forbes Library Trustee. The nine member field will be winnowed to four who are running for two open seats on the board. The general election is November 8th. I will be voting for Marjorie Hess.

I have gotten to know Marjorie through Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, an organization which among other things, is about encouraging new leadership, encouraging good people to run for public office -- and to support those that do.

I am grateful that Marjorie is stepping up to run for this important position. Not only is she exceptionally well qualified for the post she is running for, but she is a person of great competence and integrity and a role model for the kind of person we all want to see in positions of public trust and responsibility. Please join me in voting for her on Tuesday.

Nohomissives has more details on her views and qualifications, and a number of endorsement statements, including that of the Northampton chapter of Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts.
