Ali Dieng
Independent, Pragmatic and Inclusive Leader
For the New North End
Securing Needed City Services for Residents of the New North End
The New North End is finally getting well deserved attention from the city with two recent investments. We now have a fully staffed
New North End Ambulance and a pilot branch of Fletcher Free Library in our neighborhood.
These achievements are the result of constant advocacy, patience and rigor in the face of pushbacks. The residents of the North District will no longer have to wait over 7 minutes to have an ambulance respond nor will they have to drive all the way downtown to return books or access library services.
Public Safety
When it comes to public safety, It is everyone’s responsibility. We know that police reform is needed, and as a public servant I feel it is my duty to oppose reactionary measures that lack diligence and process, such as the motion of defunding the police without adequate research and input from the community. In the face of setbacks, I chose pragmatism.

“While not agreeing with every vote Ali has cast, we are impressed with his commitment to public service. Ali’s independent status brings balance to a divided City Council. He strives to be responsive to his constituents and has earned another term.”
PETER CLAVELLE & BETSEY FERRIES
FORMER BURLINGTON MAYOR / FORMER TEACHER AND COUNSELOR
“Ali Dieng has been working tirelessly to represent Ward 7 and the entire city on City Council for the last five years. Ali is charismatic, energetic and is talented in engaging and interacting with people. He has proven to be a thoughtful, enthusiastic leader, and has been instrumental in various issues, from condemning hate towards minority residents, bringing the library branch and ambulance to our NNE and uniting the neighborhood around dog ownership issues, to name just a few. I am honored to be represented by such an empathetic and inclusive leader.”
MONICA IVANCIC
WARD 7 SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
“Please join me in supporting Ali, an independent leader who puts party politics aside and does what’s best for the people of the New North End. I look forward to working with Ali over the next two years to continually make Burlington a welcoming, inclusive and safe neighborhood for all.”
DAVE HARTNETT
FORMER NORTH DISTRICT CITY COUNCILOR
“I support the candidacy of Ali Dieng for ward 7 City Councilor. Ali is a thoughtful caring councilor more concerned about his constituents than towing a party line. Each issue is thought through with the best of information before his mind is made up. His love for the city is obvious. His giving voice to the voiceless is priceless.”
GARY DE CAROLIS
FORMER BURLINGTON CITY COUNCILOR
“Ali brings important, community oriented perspective and experience to City Council. I think that his longstanding professional commitment to supporting families in our schools says a great deal about his outstanding character and priorities. Every interaction I’ve had with Ali has demonstrated that his focus is on working with and representing his constituents to make the city and our neighborhood stronger.”
