NORTHAMPTON A fourth mayoral candidate has stepped forward.
Rosechana Gordon, a longtime Northampton resident with a background in social work, announced she is running for mayor.
“I’m a self-starter. A leader with unconventional wisdom,” Gordon, 54, of Conz Street, said in an interview. “My personal goal is to bring our community from polarized sides or ways of thinking together and to lead. My belief is that there is wisdom from both sides, both political parties.”
Earlier this year, Mayor David Narkewicz announced he won’t be seeking reelection. In addition to Gordon, City Council President Gina-Louise Sciarra, social worker Shanna Fishel and engineer Jared Greenberg have announced plans to run for the position.
