When we wrote last week about next year’s Burlington City Council elections, just one incumbent had yet to decide whether she’d seek reelection: Councilor Rachel Siegel (P-Ward 3).
Now Siegel says she’s in.
The decision wasn’t easy, she says. Siegel was hired in September as executive director of the Peace and Justice Center. She says she struggled to determine whether she could balance that new role with her council and family obligations.
“I’ve had life changes since I ran two years ago,” the Ward 3 Prog says. “The balance of my life has changed, and we really had to discuss how to make it sustainable without it having a big impact on the family. We figured out a handful of really concrete things we can do to try to keep some semblance of balance. It seems totally doable, and I’m totally psyched.”
