See what friends and neighbors have to say about Laurie: "Covering the city for many years as a journalist for the Gazette has given her a deep understanding of our city government and the issues facing the council. She is a thoughtful, well-informed person who examines issues thoroughly."-Ellen Nigrosh, Ward 3 resident "She was inclusive of everyone’s opinion, she sought to understand issues, she was organized and hardworking. The meetings were highly collaborative and a pleasure to attend. These are the precise skills and attributes that I want my city councilor to have." -Jennifer Dieringer, Ward 3 resident "Every ward deserves a councilor who respects different perspectives, listens to concerns and ultimately casts a vote when the matter is before the City Council. Laurie Loisel will be that kind of councilor." -Benjamin Spencer, Ward 2 resident "She has quietly immersed herself in our community for decades and in myriad important ways. She is a model citizen, a trusted and caring neighbor, and a proven problem-solver who will dig into the issues and work to identify solutions, not for attention but because she cares." -Michael Goggins, Ward 3 resident
