Alissa is so humbled to receive an endorsement from Kyra Wilson-Cook, Acton’s first Black elected official and current AB School Committee Chair. A strong community values and uplifts the voices of people with diverse lived experiences and perspectives. Doing so improves decision making, increases opportunities for creative problem solving, fosters a sense of belonging, and results in a more livable community for all. On the Select Board, Alissa will center historically excluded voices during deliberations and decisions, and work to remove barriers that limit access to civic engagement and positions of authority.
