(William McMullen/Deb Hall campaign) WORCESTER, MA — Deb Hall officially launched her 2021 bid for a seat on the Worcester City Council Monday, highlighting her experience in the community and diverse background. Hall, 52, filed paperwork to run for City Council in November, and has since raised about $10,000. She joins a growing field of challengers with six others having either filed campaign paperwork or announced a bid for Council since the summer. Hall points to her work experience — she is the director of domestic violence services at the YWCA of Central Massachusetts, but also the founder of the Worcester Black History Project and a member of the Worcester Advisory Committee on the Status of Women, among others — and her life experience as reasons for her run.
