See what friends and neighbors have to say about Laurie:

“Covering the city for many years as a journalist for the Gazette has given her a deep understanding of our city government and the issues facing the council. She is a thoughtful, well-informed person who examines issues thoroughly.”

-Ellen Nigrosh, Ward 3 resident

“She was inclusive of everyone’s opinion, she sought to understand issues, she was organized and hardworking. The meetings were highly collaborative and a pleasure to attend. These are the precise skills and attributes that I want my city councilor to have.”

-Jennifer Dieringer, Ward 3 resident

“Every ward deserves a councilor who respects different perspectives, listens to concerns and ultimately casts a vote when the matter is before the City Council. Laurie Loisel will be that kind of councilor.”

-Benjamin Spencer, Ward 2 resident

“Laurie listens, asks questions, and thoughtfully considers differing viewpoints. Laurie’s civil and unflappable manner will be an invaluable asset in reaching real resolutions to difficult issues on behalf of constituents.”

—Peter and Madeline Weaver Blanchette, Ward 3 residents

“She has quietly immersed herself in our community for decades and in myriad important ways. She is a model citizen, a trusted and caring neighbor, and a proven problem-solver who will dig into the issues and work to identify solutions, not for attention but because she cares.” 

-Michael Goggins, Ward 3 resident
