Let's Elect Pro-Housing, Pro-Climate, Pro-People Candidates!
Brookline Town Elections are Tuesday, May 6th. This is a very important election. Voter turnout will be high. Your vote will determine Brookline's future!
Brookline has 5 Select Board Members who serve 3 year terms. This year you can vote for one candidate. Town Meeting has 255 members, 15 per each of 17 precincts. You can vote for 5 Town Meeting Members for three year terms. If a Town Meeting Member leaves before the end of their term, you will be able to vote for candidates for a one year or two year term.
Brookline for Everyone enthusiastically endorses Michael Rubenstein for Select Board.
Michael brings the leadership skills, financial acumen, and temperament Brookline so desperately needs, and is the only candidate in the race who understands that we can solve our housing, climate, and revenue crises by encouraging appropriate housing and commercial development across Brookline, especially on underutilized lots near transit.
Michael distinguished himself by leading the Yes! in Brookline coalition that mobilized town-wide support to pass meaningful compliance with the MBTA Communities Act in November 2023, which passed with 84% of the vote in Town Meeting, despite the “no” and “abstain” votes by Michael’s two opponents.
Michael has the experience and ability to help Brookline become the inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community we want, and we urge you to join us in supporting him.
