Mary for Mayor of Somerville Details
As a lifelong resident of Somerville, becoming Mayor of our City will be the capstone of years of personal commitment and professional dedication to advancing social justice and to making our community a better place to live. As Mayor, I will continue to advance our vision of creating an equitable City that is safe, welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant. It is the local decisions we make that determine our quality of life in Somerville. For the last year, I devoted all of my waking hours to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. As Chief Community Officer of our City's safety-net healthcare system, the Cambridge Health Alliance, I was in the trenches with community organizations, public officials, the business community, and countless selfless individuals organizing healthcare, Covid education, food, and essential services to the people of Somerville. As challenging and, too often, heartbreaking as this work has been, it has inspired me to serve in a broader way; I want to harness our collective kindness, innovation, and intelligence to eliminate hunger in our City, ensure that mental health services are available to everyone in need of care and support, enact innovative legislation that will incentivize multi-family homeowners and developers to provide affordable housing and nurture local Somerville businesses that will thrive in the new economy. There is an overarching need to address structural racism, the digital divide, green space, climate, and environmental pollution, and we need more substance use treatment and supportive services in policing. I envision a city that endeavors to treat every person – young, old, documented or undocumented immigrant, LGBTQ+, Black people, Asian people, Latinos/as, and folks of all abilities, with whom we are blessed to share our City - with respect, kindness, and compassion.
