Meet Salem Derby
Throughout my 22 years on the City Council, I have worked with integrity, passion, and an unwavering commitment to Easthampton. I’ve built strong working relationships with so many great people in this community. I have earned a reputation for being pragmatic, level-headed, and focused on what’s best for Easthampton. I hope to bring that to the table as your next Mayor.
After 22 years of service as a City Councilor, I am excited to be running for Mayor of Easthampton."
I am a father of three wonderful children, a coach, an Easthampton business owner with my wife Carissa, an educator, and a dedicated member of our community. As a member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, my values have been shaped by a deep commitment to sustainability and a strong connection to the natural environment. I am ready to bring that perspective and dedication to leading Easthampton into a thriving future.
