I’m Pat De Angelis and I am running for re-election as a District 2* Town Council representative.

As a  Councilor, I have created legislation addressing wage theft in the service and construction industries and addressing the use of surveillance technology by the Town. I have also sponsored aspirational resolutions and then worked to move from aspiration to action. I consistently vote to support affordable housing initiatives, climate action, community policing, and the responsible implementation of the four capital projects.

My goals include:

• Implementing zoning changes that support diversity and affordability;
• Supporting the Community Responders for Safety and Service (CRESS) Program;
• Building a permanent Shelter for unhoused residents;
• Implementing the Climate Action and Resilience Plan;
• Supporting a Resident Oversight Committee to address policing;
• Building up the Reparations Fund;
• Addressing staffing issues in Town Departments;
• Implementing the capital building projects; and
• Addressing the deep divisions that exist in Amherst.

I listen to and am impacted by the voices in our community, maintain a belief in collaboration and consensus, and I speak my mind.

Vote early or Vote on Tuesday November 2, but please vote!
