Voting is at the heart of Democracy and I want to thank everyone who voted on Tuesday. I also want to congratulate everyone who ran for City Council and School Committee. Putting yourself out there takes courage, and every candidate deserves respect for stepping up to serve their community.

The first step to getting re-elected to the City Council is to get on the ballot. What better way to do that than to have a Nomination Paper Signing Party! Join me on Thursday, July 17th, from 5 to 7 pm. at the 730 Tavern in Central Square for complimentary appetizers and sign my papers!

Councillor Paul Toner has been named and charged in connection with a brothel operating in Cambridge. It is important to note that Councillor Toner has not been found guilty and is entitled to due process. However, the nature of these charges is deeply concerning. 1/2

Proud of Cambridge, MA for signing on to an amicus brief challenging the Department of Homeland Security's decision to revoke an 18 month extension of Temporary Protective Status for 350,000 Venezuelans who will lose TPS. We have to fight this hatred in the streets and in the courts!

Thank you to everyone who supported the Multi-Family Housing Ordinance that passed 8-1. Thx to my colleagues @SumbulSiddiqui and @BurhanAzeem, who led the charge. We can’t address a housing shortage without building housing. Let's keep moving Cambridge forward!

As the 5th generation of my family to live in Cambridge,MA, I want others to have that same experience. Unfortunately, so many can't because of our housing shortage. We can't call Cambridge a "Welcoming Community" and then not welcome new people.
