I passed the second of the three MTEL tests, while running a grassroots campaign, and chasing 3 kids under 5! 🙌🏻💪🏼

Waiting for a sign? I’ve got it here. 👇🏼 #agawamma #westernmass

Taking the MTEL tomorrow and then I’ll be hitting the campaign trail the rest of week. Wish me luck 🍀

The work never ends when you’re a mom and a grassroots candidate- even when your foot needs rest and ice. I’m trying to purchase votebuilder because it’ll help me door knock more efficiently and safely. It’s $700 and I’m $175 away. Can you help me get there? Go to christinerickmon.com & find donate

Icing my foot after door knocking and petting Scrappy. Happy Caturday!

While canvassing to hand out my palm cards, I knocked on a door hoping to speak to a woman listed as an unenrolled (independent) voter. Her husband answered. I introduced myself. 🧵

Just posted a new blog: Agawam could be doing better—for everyone. Not just for one group or one building, but for the whole community. That means kids, families, workers, seniors—all of us. Let’s stop treating fairness like it’s a limited resource. www.christinerickmon.com/post/a-more-...

Agawam put a press release that was blurry and hard to read about a grant we earned. I break it down in the video below. 👇🏼 I’m getting over a head cold so I sound like a frog 🐸 🫣

📣 I gave a speech at our campaign BBQ—and like most things in my life, it featured my 4-year-old asking questions mid-sentence and hunting for a toy. This campaign is about real life—what families face and how our town can help. It’s not polished politics—it’s honest conversation. I’m proud of that.

I’m on TikTok now—sharing pieces of my campaign, why I’m running, and the reality of being a grassroots candidate in Agawam. There’s also some lighter stuff too, like me trying (and failing) to pronounce Massachusetts towns 😂 Follow along if you’d like: www.tiktok.com/@christine.r...

After teaching in Florida and seeing my kindergartners take 10 standardized tests in 2 weeks, I knew we needed a change. We found Agawam—and it felt like home. Now I’m running for City Council to help make this a town where more families can thrive.

If you’re at a No Kings Stand Out today- be safe, put on sunscreen, and drink water.

@indivisible.org why is the flagship stand out in Philly and not Boston? This is the birthplace of resistance to monarchy — of rejecting power held by the few. That legacy still matters. Grassroots leadership & shared power aren’t just history — they’re a vision for today. #NoKings #Grassroots

Affordability shouldn’t feel out of reach — not in child care, not in our energy bills. I'm running for City Council because every voice should matter, and I want Agawam to work for everyone. Just me and my family here — thanks for joining us on this journey. 💙

My signatures were certified! I AM GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT!

I’m running because I believe Agawam should work for everyone—not just the loudest voices in the room or those who’ve lived here the longest. Families like mine moved here because we saw something special. I’m running to help protect and grow that promise—for all of us.

It’s rainy, it’s Saturday… it’s #Caturday 🐾 Scrappy’s staying cozy while I plan the next phase of the campaign. Thoughtful, inclusive leadership starts with listening — even on quiet days like this. #Agawam #CityCouncil #ListeningLeadership

Door-knocking with my 4-year-old and his toy lawnmower. This is what #grassroots really looks like: no paid staff, no big machine — just a mom showing up, kid in tow, building a better future one conversation at a time. #Agawam #LocalPolitics

Hi Bluesky! I am running for City Council in Agawam, MA because I believe every voice matters- whether you've just moved to the area or are the fifth generation to call Agawam home. This is my first campaign and I am excited to take this journey to help my community! #empoweringagawamtogether

If you can, I’d be grateful for your support 💙 👉 christinerickmon.com #ChristineForCouncil #EmpoweringAgawamTogether #PeoplePowered #grassroots

Childcare shouldn’t cost more than a teacher’s salary. Agawam’s Parks & Rec could offer more for kids & families — and bring in revenue to fix fields, repaint the splash pad, & host events.

In Agawam, just 6,600 voters decide for a town of 28,000. 🗳️ That’s less than 1 in 4 people shaping our schools, roads, and local services. Imagine the change if more of us showed up. Let’s make it happen this November. 💪 🔗 christinerickmon.com #VoteAgawam #WesternMA #GrassrootsCampaign

Real talk: I’ve got my palm cards designed and ready to go—but I’m still $240 short of ordering them. They cost $540, and I’ve raised just over $300. If you believe in grassroots change and want to help me reach more voters, every dollar makes a difference 💙 secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...
