I am officially on the ballot! Can you make it to the Senior Center on Sept 16th for the preliminaries?
I’m Ace Tayloe, and after living in Ward 3 for a decade, I am excited to run for city council to represent my neighbors. Our ward is varied in its needs, and I want to push the city to meet those needs better. I’m a practically-minded planner; I set goals based on evidence, and I find ways to achieve them that will be effective, even when those paths to success aren’t traditional. My major platform goals are below. Above all, I want to keep an open and curious mind, to work towards consensus and collaboration, and to leave the place a little better than I found it.

Affordability
Affordability
We all need housing; Northampton needs a lot of housing. The people who work here should be able to afford to live here, particularly the people that make our city function.
Getting Around Town
Getting Around Town
Walk, wheel, drive, bus, or bike–we all need to get around. Roads and sidewalks need to be well-maintained, as a matter of accessibility, of justice, and of practicality.
Collaborative Government
Collaborative Government
A government should serve its people, doing things at a scale that individuals can’t. City council is no exception. Their decisions should support the common good, be easy to participate in, and respond to the needs of the people who live and work here.
Schools
Schools
I hope I don’t have to elaborate on the importance of supporting kids, their education, and their wellbeing. Critical to that is supporting school employees.
Robust Downtown
Robust Downtown
The shops, restaurants, venues, and other businesses downtown bring in revenue to the city and joy to our lives. And I have a personal stake: I work there. With a thriving downtown, the city does better.
Communication & Availability
Communication & Availability
Ward 3 is too big for one person to know all of; I need to hear from you to know what I’m missing. Similarly, you need to know what I’m working on, and what the city at large is doing.
