I want your voice to be included in the transition process. We’ve launched a simple online form in English, Spanish, and Portuguese so residents can share priorities. It takes just a few minutes, and your feedback feeds directly into our committees and briefings. Add your ideas: wilsontransition.org

Thank you to everyone who joined our first policy committee kickoff, and the 140 community members who are stepping up every day to make a difference in the city. These committees will help frame near-term priorities and surface practical recommendations for the administration’s first 100 days.

Really enjoyed participating in the Massachusetts Mayors' Association's Newly Elected Mayors Training today. The storm moved the event virtual, but it was great connecting with other incoming mayors and hearing from experienced mayors and subject matter experts on issues facing mayors in our state.

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.
