“I worked with Amy for 8 years on the Newton City Council and I’m excited about her candidacy because she brings passion, commitment, and hard work to the campaign. Amy was always someone I could discuss issues with and her insights helped make me smarter. Her communication with colleagues and constituents was thorough, and she had the interpersonal skills to understand when to push, when to back off, and when to close the deal. She’ll deliver for her constituents because she’ll work well with colleagues. It’s often the soft skills that make the difference, and Amy has them.”
