Holyoke - City Councilor Kevin Jourdain was proud to report that since he joined the City Council on January 3, 1994 he has attended 298 of 305 scheduled full City Council Meetings. This means that Councilor Jourdain has only missed 7 full Council meetings in 14 years equalling a 98% attendance rate. Full Council meetings are where all Councilors convene to introduce new legislation and engage in thorough debates prior to taking the crucial final votes on all matters before the City Council.
"It has been my pleasure to represent the people of Holyoke! Over the past 14 years, I have been an active voice on their behalf and they know they can always count on me to be there."
Only 3 active Councilors have been on the City Council for the last 14 consecutive years. (Councilors Lopez, McGiverin and Jourdain)
