THANK YOU SALEM! I am so excited and incredibly grateful to the voters for giving me the opportunity to serve on our City Council. Thank you to my volunteers and supporters for all your encouragement, and thank you to my incredible family. I am so looking forward to serving our Salem community on our City Council!
My name is Alice Merkl, and I am running to be your Councillor at Large in Salem, MA in 2021. When I first came to this vibrant city, I fell in love with its beauty, rich history and culture, diversity, and the passion our residents have for their community. I am thrilled to channel my enthusiasm for this city into a campaign to represent the people of Salem on our City Council.
During the Covid crisis, I have watched our community come together and create a supportive and caring environment for our most vulnerable community members. I have had the privilege of seeing our community in action first hand through my extensive volunteer work with the Salem Food Pantry, the Mack Park Food Farm, Salem Together program, Community Life Center, neighborhood clean ups, and other venues. Watching how our community has persevered and come together through our most challenging times has made me more dedicated and inspired than ever to serve.
