Norah
Laughter
For Ward 1

Elect an Alder for student, community, and labor solidarity

Raised by public school employees in a small town in Kentucky, I saw how working people's lives were shaped by corporate powers taking more than they gave. In New Haven, I saw similar inequality due to segregated development Yale has helped create—and people organizing to fight back.

​

I’ve organized with Students Unite Now since 2022 in a coalition of unions and community organizations fighting for racial and economic justice. This coalition won the increase in Yale's voluntary contribution to New Haven. That’s why I’m running for Alder: New Haven students and residents need to work together to win the funding our city needs for housing and schools.

"Why Should I Vote for Norah?"

Bottom line: I am already willing to fight for what we need to thrive - I'd love to expand that work at City Hall!
