Michal Negri, former CEO of Ra'anana municipality and current director of training for local authority CEOs, has joined Naftali Bennett's 'Together' party, according to an announcement. Negri brings local government administrative experience to the party ahead of the next election cycle.
Michal Negri, former CEO of the Ra'anana municipality and currently a director of training programs for local authority CEOs, is joining Naftali Bennett's 'Together' party, according to party communications. Negri's career spans municipal administration, including her tenure as the top appointed official in Ra'anana, one of Israel's central cities in the Sharon plain. In recent years she has been involved in training and professional development for senior local government managers. Her addition to Bennett's party represents another recruitment from local government, adding administrative and municipal governance expertise to the party's slate. The timing and context of the announcement — coming while the Knesset is in summer session and with the next general election not yet formally called — suggests ongoing party-building efforts by Bennett's faction, which currently holds four seats in the Knesset according to recent polls.
