B4E 2025 Endorsements

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!

Select Board
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.
