About
Hello Neighbor,
My name is Tony Labranche and I am 23 years old and I have just graduated from Georgetown with my bachelor’s in Sociology. Although my parents were living in Ward 4 when I was born, I am relatively new to Ward 4 as I was raised here in Nashua off of exit 5 by the dump. I lived here for 14 years before moving to Amherst where I have lived for the last 9. During my time in Amherst and since turning 18, I have run for school board twice (and lost) and state representative where I was elected at the age of 18. I served only one two-year term and I served on the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee. During my time I sponsored 39 pieces of legislation, mostly focusing on criminal justice, election reform, and labor protections, with 5 of them passing. Now I am running for Alderman because I think we need change and I would like to be a part of that change, to make Nashua more affordable, prosperous, transparent, and safe for all. Please consider me when voting on November 4th at Ledge Street Elementary School.
Best,
Tony Labranche
Experience
State Representative for Amherst (2020-2022)
In November 2020, at the age of 18, I was elected to serve the position of a lifetime as State Representative for the Town of Amherst. During my two-year term, I was able to help in the passage of seven pieces of legislation.
Bachelor of Arts in Sociology- Georgetown University
In May of this year, I graduated with honors with my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Georgetown University. During my time at Georgetown, I took many classes dealing with public policy such as “Housing Policy in America” which dealt with the various policy mechanisms which influence the American housing market and “Education and Society” which explored how policy impacts the education system. These courses give me a good foundation of knowledge to jump into the role which shapes our housing policies in Nashua from zoning ordinances and other regulations to adopting policies which will drive investment into our community.
City Employee
I am currently an employee of the city and have seen the issues facing our city and its government first hand. I believe this insider perspective gives me the ability to jump straight into tackling these issues.
