"We need more nurses like Lida at all levels of government," said MNA President and Cambridge Hospital RN Donna Kelly-Williams. "Lida will bring the skills she has learned as both a nurse and a veteran to the West Springfield Town Council: Crisis management, flexibility and the ability to advocate for what is right."

"I am really grateful for MNA's endorsement," Francoeur said. "The MNA is a highly professional organization that not only cares about nurses' well-being, but their patients as well. This is evident by the safe patient limits initiative that is currently underway to ensure every Massachusetts hospital patient gets the safe care they deserve. As a daughter of a union teacher and carpenter, I love being an active member of the MNA and will continue to do so while bringing my family's positive union ethics to the District 2 Councilor position."

Ms. Francoeur has worked as a registered nurse in Radiology, the Operating Room and the Emergency Department and is a certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) for the Commonwealth. She is an army veteran who served in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ms. Francoeur previously held the District 2 Town Council seat from 2010-2016.
