What I thought I would do, since many folks that I talk to are unclear about what the Newburyport City Councilors at Large candidates stand for, I thought I would do a very simplistic break down.

I hate to “label” folks, but sometimes it would be good to “keep it simple.”

And there would be no right or wrong category. This is simply meant to be used for easy (and again, somewhat simplistic) information.

(Editor’s Note: Robert Kelleher, who is running for Newburyport City Councilor at Large, has contacted me to let me know that he would not like to be “labeled,” so I have taken him off the list, and put his name down in the Editor’s Note.
