Ellen Cupo, Alder in Ward 8

“As a Yale employee in the Program in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS), a Local 34 Vice President, and the Alder for Wooster Square,

I know what’s at stake for thousands of New Haven residents when we need to renegotiate Yale’s contribution to our city. The resources Yale holds—and how they’re shared—directly impact our public schools, affordable housing, and

city services. That’s why I’m encouraging Ward 1 residents to support Norah Laughter for Alder, and why I’m so proud Local 34's membership endorsed her. Norah has walked picket lines with workers, helped win reinvestments in Yale’s health center for students and staff, and lobbied the state

capitol for stronger worker protections.”
