David Murphy eyes return to Northampton City Council
DAVID MURPHY
NORTHAMPTON A longtime former city councilor is returning to run for an at-large position.
David Murphy announced his candidacy after at-large City Councilor Gina-Louise Sciarra announced a mayoral campaign Tuesday and fellow at-large City Councilor William Dwight announced Wednesday that he would not seek another term.

“I did spend 14 years there, so I pretty much got the councilor thing down,” he said, adding that he is currently on the city’s Board of Assessors. “I’m not out of municipal government. I do know municipal finance really well.”
