After giving the voters of Somerville the positive, issue-focused race that we agreed to do a year ago, it was great catching up with my friend and colleague @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social We unpacked the wild campaign journey we were just on and looked ahead at important policy work to be done.

Veterans Day honors those who've served our country. I started out the day at the Mystic Learning Center for a Veterans Day event, then moved on to the Dilboy VFW for a speaking program and wreath-laying. Finally, I attended the Somerville Museum's event at Milk Row Cemetery. Thank you, veterans!

Attended a screening of Somerville filmmaker Brian Truglio's documentary film, Running Home, at the Somerville Theatre. The subject of film, Mike Wardian, was on hand with Brian for a Q&A afterward about the film and the transcontinental run featured in it.

Had a great meeting with @kimdriscollma.bsky.social last week, where we talked about policy priorities and where we can work together. I'm really looking forward to that collaboration with the Healey-Driscoll administration in the coming years!

Thanks everyone for the happy birthday wishes!
Celebrated turning 49 in Portland (the West Coast one), where they have amazing food and drinks but don't take street sweeping nearly as seriously as we do in Somerville #scorpiomayor

Took the Orange Line from Assembly to State this morning and it went exactly how it should. No delays. No slow zones. Just public transit moving people around efficiently. Grateful to @mbta.com for doing the work to change things. Let's keep this going.

Thank you, Somerville. I’m enormously proud to be your Mayor-elect. Tonight, we showed that a people-powered campaign can be rooted in our progressive values and also grounded in the practical solutions that Somerville residents deserve.

Dropping by local businesses is a special part of Election Day for me. We’ve stopped by a tiny Turns Paperie, Income Tax Plus, Index Vinyl, and Carolicious.

Here’s a peak behind the scenes of Election Day - I swung back to our campaign HQ where drivers and canvassers are coming in and out, phone bankers and text bankers are doing shifts on zoom, and campaign staffers are making sure volunteers across the city are taken care of.
