The triple decker might be the most Massachusetts thing there is. It's also illegal to build in almost every city and town. Look around your block. Most of what you see couldn't be built today. In Cambridge, 85% of our buildings were illegal until I helped fix it last year.

When I ran for City Council, I published my to-do list for if I got into office. Three terms later, we've checked a lot of projects off: ✅ 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 (Starting in fall 2024, we ensured every family could send their 4-year-olds to no-cost preschool) ✅ 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝟮.𝟬 (Passed in Oct 2023) ✅ 𝗥𝗲-𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 (After the February 2025 multifamily ordinance passed 8-1, allowing triple-decker buildings by right citywide) Over the next few weeks, I'm publishing my to-do list for the State House. What do you want us to accomplish at the state level? Let me know ⬇️

Massachusetts has one of the least productive legislatures in the country. Last week it moved fast for once: voting 125-28 to gut the audit 72% of voters approved and block the courts from enforcing it. No hearing, 24 hours to read it. They can move quickly. Just not for you.

While we're on the topic of alcohol. It costs about $100,000 just to get a liquor license in Somerville. Before you sign a lease or pour a single drink. Why? A cap from prohibition times (1933). The city voted unanimously to scrap it. Beacon Hill said no. Let's lift the cap

Everyone in this race is progressive and says the T needs more funding. That's true, but not enough. GLX opened after 32 years, then shut down almost immediately because the $2.3B track was built too narrow. We need to build gov capacity and show liberals can deliver.

"Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." That's the story of the mbta and how it went awry. The T runs on a state tax that's always short, set by legislators whose voters don't ride it. LA faced the identical broken incentive in 2008 and fixed it. Montreal did too
