THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 12, 2024 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 9 Nichole Mossalam to Host Community Campaign Kickoff on April 21st, 2024 [M ALDEN & MEDFORD, MA] Nichole Mossalam is excited to announce the official kickoff of her campaign for State Representative for the 35th Middlesex. The event will take place on Sunday, April 21st at The Porch Southern Fare and Juke Joint in Medford from 5:307:30 pm. Nichole Mossalam is running to ensure the needs of her neighbors are put before politics. She believes that residents of Medford and Malden deserve a Representative who is here to listen to them, not for power grabs, leadership positions, personal gain, or the next best thing. Especially with today’s rising costs and underfunded schools. After having run for this seat in 2022 and falling only 50 votes short of victory, Nichole is ready to hit the ground running. If elected, Mossalam would make history as the fi rst Muslim person ever elected to Beacon Hill, and the fi rst woman to represent the 35th Middlesex. Mossalam Campaign Kickoff The campaign kickoff event will feature music by local artist Coywolf Johnson and welcome guest speakers Malden City Councilor At-Large Karen Colón Hayes, community activist Marie Izzo, Kevin Decoteau, and more to be announced in the coming days. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Nichole, ask questions about her vision for residents of Medford and Malden, and hear from neighbors how she’s the best candidate for the job. “We’ve spent the last three months knocking on doors, making phone calls, shaping policy, and meeting people all across the district. Our support is holding strong, and I believe it’s important we celebrate the movement we’re all building,” says Mossalam. “With this event, it was important to me to support a business in the district and highlight those who make this place a vibrant place to live.” Supporters, media, and members of the public are all invited to attend the campaign kickoff event.
