Meet the Members: Michelle Bouchard
 In May of 2001, her eleven year-old son, Alex, told her he wanted to move out of their neighborhood. Alex's concerns about trash on the streets encouraged Michelle to run for the Third District City Council Seat that year. She received more votes than any Republican running for that seat has in the past decade.
Believing most problems are best handled locally and that government money can not solve all social problems, Michelle has been a lifelong Republican.
Born in Liberty, Texas, Michelle grew up on a Virginia farm. After receiving her B.A. in political science from Wellesley, Michelle moved to New York City where she has lived for nearly eighteen years.
Michelle's work experience includes: theatre producing, technology, and real estate.
Michelle is now a single, divorced mother living in Chelsea. Her concern for the community and her passion for her beliefs keep her active in politics.
