“We are a little over 130 days in at this point, although, in many ways, it feels familiar and exhilarating and energizing to be able to roll up my sleeves and just work on issues that I had been talking about and holding oversight hearings on the council for a very long time and the energy, right now, in Boston to get things done is felt everywhere across the city. And so I’m very proud that even in these first 100-and-some days we have reshaped what is possible in Boston – from addressing and taking a big step forward at Mass (Avenue) and (Melnea) Cass (Boulevard) with the concentration of the city’s opiate crisis and homelessness and mental health to showing that fair, free public transportation can change lives and is possible in our city to reshaping how we conduct our budget process, engage residents, create infrastructure that will have an impact for future generations.”

“How has this changed me? I made a promise to myself early on that I would be proud of who I was in politics long after I got out of politics. And so I was anxious at first that being in this role would mean having to change my family’s life in different ways. But politics doesn’t have to be how we see it now. Politics is what we make of it. And I hope that, in leaning into who I am – a mom with two young kids, someone who didn’t grow up in the city, raised by parents who didn’t grow up in this country – that I hope to expand the definition of what leadership looks like and what’s possible, not only in the policies, but in the politics too.”
