Friday the City did a special dedication of the Laurel Park Fountain to our former colleague Helen Norris, the long-time Ward 3 Councilor. I was very proud to sponsor this along with Former Mayor Elaine Pluta to honor her dedication and deep commitment to our city. Helen was instrumental to the effort to acquire the Holyoke Dam. She also worked with me on many good government measures and supported the building of our police headquarters on Appleton St in 1997. I also thank the Mayor, Councilor Bartley and Parks Director Tom Reynolds for their critical support. The fountain looks beautiful and we had a big turnout for Helen. A beautiful day

Remembering with fondness the life and legacy of President Kennedy on this the 60th Anniversary of his tragic passing.

President Kennedy to me always stood for the person who answered the inner call inherent in all of us to serve our fellow citizens with whatever talents God has given us, and for the boundless opportunity to make the world better than we found it through that service.

Fellow Holyokers,

Election Day in Holyoke is this Tuesday, November 7. I am running for re-election as City Councilor At Large, and I would be honored to please have your support.

I believe our city has a bright future ahead, but to get there we need to make smart decisions in the present day. I respectfully believe I am the candidate who is best-suited to help make those decisions on your behalf.

If you’re looking for a Councilor candidate who…

… is proud of his proven record serving as a leader and as our city’s “fiscal watchdog”…
… will always be a strong, independent voice for common sense…
… will make sure your hard-earned tax dollars are spent wisely so we can keep Holyoke as an affordable place to live…
… will unabashedly fight for public safety and to make City Hall accountable to the People…
… favors returning our public schools to local control as soon as possible…
… has a vision for growing jobs in our city and continuing the economic development of our downtown…

… then I humbly suggest that I am the candidate who shares your priorities and best represents the values important to you, and I respectfully ask for your vote on Tuesday.

Polls will be open from 7am to 8pm. Our city’s future is counting on your vote. Please be sure you cast your ballot, and encourage all of your Holyoke family, friends, and neighbors to vote too.

Thank you. It continues to be my honor to serve you as your Councilor.

Sincerely,

Kevin Jourdain
Holyoke City Councilor At Large

Thank you to the group Better Holyoke for All, a group who monitors city finances closely, for their recent endorsement of my re-election campaign. I really appreciate them citing my independent leadership and common sense. I work very hard to do a good job and their support is appreciated.

Tuesday is the big day! Please vote everyone. We need everyone!

Better Holyoke for All PAC is endorsing candidates based on two criteria in the November 7 election:
(1) Ability to be independent and do one's own thinking, and
(2) Capacity to use Common Sense.

A Better Holyoke for All Political Action Committee has reviewed all of the candidates and happily endorses the following candidates for voters to consider on November 7:

City Council At Large (Vote for not more than 6)
Michael Sullivan
Kevin Jourdain
Howard Greaney

City Council by Ward
Victor Machado (Ward 1)
Carmen Ocasio (Ward 2)
David Bartley (Ward 3)
Ruth Garcia (Ward 4)
Linda Vacon (Ward 5)
Eileen Brady Leahy (Ward 7)

School Committee At Large
Luissette Arroyo-Rosado

Election Day is November 7. Please get out to vote for independence and common sense or you will end up without checks and balances on the City Council but with a rubber stamp City Council with their own private agendas.
