Improve Education & Keep Kids Safe

Cambridge has built its reputation on its school systems. In order to continue to top the rankings, I remain committed to strengthening education and investing in the next generation of learners. As Chair of the University Relations Committee, I have taken important steps to connect universities with the city and reach out to new students to welcome them to Cambridge. I have been a strong advocate for housing aimed at keeping graduating students — tomorrow’s workforce — in the community and making sure that the city provides affordable housing options for students.

* Partnered with the Election Commission to develop a biannual program to visit every student dorm in Cambridge to educate students on their voting rights and encourage youth participation in government.
