I lost my first re-election to the Cambridge City Council by a handful of votes.
If housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, and sustainability are issues that matter to you—
I’m asking for your #1 vote by 11/4!

Some personal news:
I’m not asking for your vote to be Cambridge’s next Mayor.
Here’s the problem though — no one is.
It’s time we changed that.
You can add your name to the petition to allow Cambridge voters to elect their Mayor and be part of the effort

Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security workers from @32bjseiu.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract.
Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump.

I’ve never been successfully re-elected before—I lost my last re-election by a handful of votes. I’m hoping to change that today

I was just in the protected bike lane on Hampshire St yesterday! Thank you!
In 2018, I lost part of two teeth in a bike crash in Cambridge.
Two years after my crash—in my 1st term on the City Council—I introduced the 2020 Cycling Safety Ordinance.
It’s added miles of protected bike lanes—including on Hampshire St, Mass Ave, and Brattle St.
