Election 2009: Capeless Endorses Ruberto for Mayor02:36PM / Monday, October 19, 2009
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — District Attorney David Capeless has endorsed James Ruberto on Monday as the mayor seeks a fourth term in office.
"It is no secret that Mayor Ruberto and I have enjoyed a strong working relationship during my first five years as District Attorney, but I want to be sure everyone knows that," Capeless said in a statement. "I am supporting Mayor Ruberto in his re-election campaign, and I urge the voters of Pittsfield to maintain his steady leadership for their city."
Capeless emphasized Ruberto's strong leadership and collaborative approach in promoting public safety.
"As district attorney, I am keenly aware of the mayor's role in ensuring that Pittsfield remains a safe place to live, work and raise a family," Capeless said. "Mayor Ruberto has been consistent during his three terms in backing our efforts at fighting crime, seeing to it that proper resources out of a tight budget are committed to his Police Department and that those precious funds are used where they are most needed.
"He also 'gets it' when it comes to the important matter of cooperative, collaborative efforts among all of us in law enforcement – thinking and working regionally, not just locally, serves the interests of Pittsfield, our largest community, as well as all the surrounding towns."
Capeless pointed to the mayor's support for youth and education as a key component for successful crime prevention strategies.
"Mayor Ruberto has also been a strong supporter of the efforts of my Office and others in working with our young citizens to prevent crime, before it becomes a problem," he continued. "He has personally lent his important voice on behalf our many programs, and has promoted access to the youth in the city's schools to that those who most need to will hear that important message."
Capeless concluded, "But public safety comes about not just through the hard work of the police and others in law enforcement. A vibrant and active community is one where the citizens are engaged and involved, and that translates into a more responsible, safer community. Mayor Ruberto has led the efforts to revitalize Pittsfield, for the benefit of all, and I am hopeful that he can continue to do so."
Ruberto said that Capeless' endorsement is an honor.
"The people of Pittsfield and Berkshire County are fortunate to have the leadership of David Capeless as we work to enhance public safety, and I am honored to have his endorsement of my candidacy," said Ruberto. "This is a special honor for me because my brother Anthony was the first elected district attorney here in Berkshire County. I appreciate the difficult job that the district attorney has to fulfill, and I am pleased that Mr. Capeless and I, with Chief [Michalel] Wynn and Sheriff [Carmen] Massimiano, have been able to collaborate so closely and work to improve public safety throughout the region."
