As we transition into the election season in South Portland, it seems more urgent than ever for us to elect city councilors who will allow each other to govern in a deliberative and honest manner. We need people who, in these dark political times, can resist peer pressure to simply “go along with the crowd.” April Caricchio, City Council candidate in District 4, is the survivor that we all need. An active member of our community, she is a Berniecrat who has made protecting the environment the centerpiece of her campaign. As a coastal community, South Portland is already being challenged by rising sea levels, and the problem of climate change will only get bigger unless we confront it now. Like her name, April will bring a fresh springtime of openness and integrity that we desperately need as we tread a wavering path towards a brighter future for the city we love.
