VVN Endorses Eight Candidates for Newton City Council

VVN supports candidates who want Newton to be an open, welcoming and vibrant city where people from all backgrounds can live.

We want walkable village centers and a range of housing options that will allow older neighbors to downsize here and will attract the younger generation that is missing from our community.

We believe that well-planned development near village centers and transit will help us do our part in the battle against climate change.

​The candidates we endorse reflect these values.

At Large Councilor Races. (All of Newton can vote for these candidates.)
Deborah Crossley  Ward 5 At Large
