Select Board: Alec Lebovitz
Alec Lebovitz

Brookline for Everyone enthusiastically supports Alec Lebovitz for Select Board. In Alec’s time on Town Meeting, he has shown a commitment to affordability, housing abundance, equity, climate sustainability, an understanding of the financial challenges facing our Town, and more. Alec also understands the levers available to the Select Board to move the needle on issues so many in our Town continually express to be our values and priorities. He has shepherded multiple warrant articles through the legislative process, working with a wide variety of Town Meeting members and residents, and has shown a willingness to tackle hard problems. By endorsing Alec we’re not simply choosing the person whose vision and perspectives best reflect Brookline for Everyone’s goals and mission, though they certainly do, we’re endorsing someone who can turn these values into action. We ask that you join us in supporting Alec Lebovitz for Select Board, tell your friends to support Alec, and if you have the means and time, to donate and volunteer to help add Alec’s important voice to Brookline’s executive body.

Brookline Housing Authority Commissioner: Kimberly Richardson
Kimberly Richardson

Brookline for Everyone is pleased to endorse Kimberly Richardson for BHA Commissioner. Kim is a BHA resident, a Licensed Certified Social Worker, and works as an administrator for the Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court. Based on her lived experience and professional accomplishments, we believe that Kim is well positioned to make significant contributions to the BHA Board. We were particularly attracted to Kim’s comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of Brookline Housing Authority (BHA) residents, including increasing resident involvement and participation, tackling issues of discrimination and harassment within BHA properties, and advocating for safe and respectful living environments for all residents. Her focus on transparency and accountability, commitment to expanding affordable housing in Brookline, and aligning BHA properties with Brookline's Climate Action Plan will add an important layer to the work of the Housing Authority. We know that Kimberly joining the Brookline Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners will make this important body better, and in turn, will improve the lives of Brookline’s Housing Authority residents.

Town Moderator: Neil Wishinsky
Neil Wishinsky

Brookline for Everyone also wants to acknowledge Neil Wishinsky stepping up as Town Moderator. Although he is running unopposed, we appreciate the important role he will take on, and look forward to working with him during his tenure as Town Moderator.
