William O'Dwyer
Northampton Council run
From The Shoestring:
- Democratic Socialists of America member William O'Dwyer felt moved to enter the at-large race by the principles of democratic socialism, which he believes offers a strong framework of building worker and tenant power from which to approach individual issues in city government.
- The youngest candidate in the race, O’Dwyer has worked in food service and been a union member when working at a UPS warehouse. He also interned for the progressive advocacy nonprofit Act on Mass and volunteered as an organizer for Protect Our Progress to support the ultimately unsuccessful reelection campaign of Cori Bush, a progressive former U.S. representative from Missouri. He is currently an undergraduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the history department, and has lived in Northampton for two years.[1]
