DOUG RUSKIN

“I have worked with Arielle since 2019 when she agreed to co-chair Coalition to Create the MV Housing Bank.  She came with municipal staff experience, but more importantly brought deep awareness and empathy for the unique challenges we all face, which go way beyond housing.  Arielle is authentic, bringing energy, focus, enthusiasm, and integrity, as well as a network of connections, locally and at the State House.  I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy and am certain that she will serve the entire district with the same all-in engagement that I've experienced.”

I've seen how she transforms tough situations into positive outcomes, and how she brings people together to get the job done. I fully trust that she'll use her wide depth of knowledge, experience, and compassion to represent the unique challenges of this region at the State House, and I enthusiastically offer my endorsement.”
