"I’m proud to represent the people of Somerville and believe my no nonsense approach to problem solving has made me an effective Councilmember.  I like to tackle issues head on.   If there’s an issue, let’s discuss options, figure out a solution, and get it done.  Whether I’m addressing the needs of the public, leading meetings and discussions, or negotiating contracts, I find that people appreciate a Councilman who is straightforward and doesn’t beat around the bush.”
