David Kris announces candidacy for Northampton City Council’s Ward 3 seat >Published: 7/2/2021 4:03:56 PM
NORTHAMPTON – City Councilor Jim Nash of Ward 3 can expect a challenge in November’s election after David Kris entered the race on Friday.
Kris, 30, of Eastern Avenue, said he is running for City Council in part because Northampton is a great place to live, but the cost is becoming unsustainable for renters and low-income residents.
“People love living here, but the big thing I keep hearing is, ‘Hey, my rent’s going up,’ or ‘my landlord’s not honoring things in our contract,’” Kris said. “We need to find whatever tools and mechanisms we can to freeze the cost here.”

NORTHAMPTON An anonymous donor has put up $50,000 to save St. John Cantius Church and the similarly endangered St. Mary’s Church on the other side of downtown.
Northampton City Councilor Jim Nash announced the proposed donation Tuesday during a meeting of the Northampton Central Business Architecture Committee, which was discussing O’Connell Development Group’s proposal to demolish St. John Cantius and build condominiums in its place.
