Exciting morning! I held my first press conference as Mayor-elect. Thank you to all who came out and asked questions about the election results, transition team planning, and pertinent issues like affordable housing and homelessness.

I plan to be a Mayor for everyone and I promise to never forget who I work for: you, the voters, my neighbors.

I am so grateful for all the ways that you ou have showed for this campaign. We truly have run a campaign by and for Somerville residents.

I know that there are challenges ahead, but I also know that together Somerville will face those challenges as a unified, resilient community.

Earlier this evening, I got a call from my friend and colleague Willie Burnley Jr, graciously conceding the Somerville mayoral race. I take great price in this race, running alongside someone I respect enormously, and I am grateful for all Willie has done for Somerville residents.

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.

Election Day stops #7, #8, #9 and #10!

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.

Election Day stop #6!

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.

Joe is now the fourth former Somerville mayor to endorse our campaign. These leaders know what this job demands because they’ve done it themselves, and their support is a powerful vote of confidence in my ability to deliver for Somerville.

I am incredibly honored and excited to announce the endorsement of former Mayor Joe Curtatone, who led Somerville for 18 years.

Dropped by Veterans Memorial Skating Rink to check out Somerville Youth Hockey Association’s Learn to Skate program.

It was amazing to see everything SYHA is doing to bring in new families to hockey and to make sure the sport is affordable for everyone. Thanks for having me!
