For East Cambridge, my neighborhood!
Maintain & Improve Quality of Life in East Cambridge
I understand my white privilege.
For Cambridge at large, my city!
Fighting for equity, justice, and democracy.
I understand my white privilege.
Cantabridgians, I'm raising funds for my campaign to city council, and in the same breath asking for your #1 vote on November 7th, 2017.
I will raise funds by doing issue based fundraising actions. What I’m really asking you is to get invested in an issue, you can only donate once to an issue and the only donation amount available is $3.
At the end of each week if an issue has raised $500.00, the issue will be highlighted the whole of the next week on my candidate mailings, blog posts, and any other media which make sense. I also invite you to submit any content that might support you point of view.
