RUN FOR SOMETHING: Jacqueline Goldman Providence City Council, Ward 5

My name is Jackie Goldman (they/them), and I am running for city council because we need politicians who will fight for our communities. For too long, Providence has been plagued by corrupt politicians who give tax breaks to their rich friends while regular people pay more and more. We pay more in housing costs, more in taxes, while we get worse education, worse city services and crumbling infrastructure.

I believe that Ward 5 deserves more. As a community activist, public health worker, and AmeriCorps alumn, I know what it takes to make a change and to do it with integrity. We can create more affordable housing, we can repair the streets and sidewalks, we can fight to end the State take over of the Providence Public Schools and return the schools back to the people of Providence. We can raise revenue for the city without only burdening working people. I also believe that we need to use every local tool possible to fight against the cruelty of the Federal administration.

I am here to serve you, and our community. So even though I am not yet your councilperson, I would love to hear from you! You can call or text me at 401-388-0961, or send me an email at jackiegoldmanri@gmail.com.
