Several Democratic candidates for City Council and Mayor spoke at the library last week. Here’s how they did.
Rani Eng is a candidate for Newburyport City Council, at large.
Sean Reardon’s passion for Newburyport is evident in the way he has delivered on issues like housing, green initiatives, and more.
Events on the national stage can often make us feel helpless at a local level. But expressing yourself peacefully at demonstrations like October 18th’s No Kings! Rally is one way to push back.
Lisa Medina Smith is a candidate for Newburyport City Council, Ward 5.
Jim McCauley’s ability to take on technical challenges, like the drinking water supply issue, make him the best candidate for mayor.
