Why I'm Running
Somerville Deserves Transformative Leadership: Bold Ideas, Visionary Action, and an End to Half-Measures.
Somerville needs leadership that thinks big, moves fast, and delivers real results. We canāt afford another term of small steps and half-measures while our biggest challenges deepen. Itās time for a leader with the courage to actānot just talk.
Thatās why Iām running for mayor.
For too long, city leadership has been reactiveātinkering around the edges while the cost of living soars, services lag, and bureaucracy slows everything down. We donāt need a caretaker mayor. We need a problem-solver who isnāt afraid to make tough decisions, hold people accountable, and drive real change.
Iām not a career politicianāIāve built organizations, created jobs, and managed complex systems where failure wasnāt an option. The city council isnāt a training ground for mayor, and Somerville canāt afford on-the-job learning. We need a leader with the vision and experience to cut through bureaucracy and deliver real solutions.
