Over the next four years, Boston will be the proof that the nation we fought for is possible—a place where we take care of each other and take on the challenges that matter the most. #BostonInauguration

In our second term, we will reinforce the very foundations of our democracy: local government as the bedrock for getting results.

Making Boston the best city for families means getting the basics right and delivering on our most fundamental, most important work every day. #BostonInauguration
