“Leslie will continue to be a superb alderman for Newton.  I have watched her make people think.  She brings critique and analysis to decisions that inevitably lead to wise and therefore effective solutions.”

Mel King
Director, South End Technology Center and former State Representative


“Newton is fortunate in having Leslie Burg, a long-time Newton resident and community activist, run for a second term as Ward 3 Alderman-at-Large.  She brings thoughtful, principled representation to Newton’s Board of Aldermen.  Leslie's experience in community planning and negotiation will be invaluable as Newton continues to wrestle with housing needs, public transportation, and economic development.”

Martina Jackson
