To the editor,
It is with great enthusiasm and heartfelt conviction that I endorse Yael Magen for the Marblehead Select Board.
Yael is not just a brilliant municipal attorney who has served multiple towns across Massachusetts—she is a community-minded leader who brings people together, listens with compassion, and acts with integrity. Her deep understanding of how local government works is grounded in years of experience making tough decisions based on facts and the law. But what truly sets Yael apart is her unwavering commitment to justice in every role she’s held, Yael has been a tireless advocate for what is right. She stands up against antisemitism and all forms of hate. She champions LGBTQ+ rights, supports affordable housing initiatives, and works to dismantle racial inequities. Yael believes that town government should serve everyone, and she has the vision and determination to make that belief a reality here in Marblehead.
What makes Yael especially effective is her ability to unite people across differences. She listens deeply, collaborates generously, and never loses sight of the bigger picture: building a stronger, more inclusive community for all. In a time when division often makes the headlines, Yael reminds us that local leadership can still be about bringing people together to get things done.
Yael Magen is exactly the kind of leader Marblehead needs—experienced, principled, and profoundly committed to the values we all hold dear. I urge you to support her candidacy and help move our town forward with fairness, compassion, and courage.
Sincerely,
Myranne Janoff
