Thank you, @ibew2222, for the endorsement and support. I look forward to working with you as the next Mayor of Somerville!

Wonderful busy day in Somerville! Started off at the western Pearl Street reconstruction open house. Then headed to the Padres Latinos La Herencia Hispana event at The Community Growing Center.

You’re invited! Campaign Cocktail Club continues tonight — join us for cocktails, mocktails, beer and wine. RSVP here: tinyurl.com/104cocktailclub

Weekends mean canvassing! The best part of campaigns is getting to meet with voters and have conversations about the city government they need. We’ll be out knocking doors tomorrow — sign up here www.jakeforsomerville.org/volunteer

Our latest campaign newsletter just arrived in the inboxes of subscribers. In it, Jake talks about the homelessness issue impacting Somerville and what we need to be doing in concert with neighboring communities to meaningfully address the situation.

When our city needs them most, Somerville’s firefighters are there. I’m humbled to have the endorsement of IAFF Local 76! With their partnership, we can create a safer, stronger Somerville. Thank you Local 76!

Looking to help out the campaign? We need volunteers! Help us knock doors this Saturday or Sunday, or join us on the phones during Monday’s phone bank. We’re spending the next month talking to voters about Jake’s plans for Somerville, and you can too! Sign up here: linktr.ee/jake4somervi...

I’m touched by this piece by my good friend Ivan on why I’m running for Mayor of Somerville — and why our campaign is about more than politics. It’s about teamwork, leadership, and building a city where everyone belongs. You can read it here: www.thesomervilletimes.com/archives/143...

The Healey School needs our support. Because of federal funding cuts, more than 170 Healey families no longer receive Carrot cards (grocery gift cards) and MBTA passes from the school district. As a result, many of our neighbors are without food and basic necessities.

Lance is an incredible legislator and colleague who I have gone to countless times for advice and collaboration during our time serving together on the council. It says everything that he’s the current President of the City Council and his endorsement is a big deal to me personally. Thanks, Lance!

Fall means ward community meetings. I’ve been to all of them so far and plan to attend the remaining ones. Come out to hear about what’s happening in our city, and in your ward in particular. And make sure to say hello!

Honored to receive the endorsement of IUPAT DC 35! Their support is a strong sign of trust in our dedication to protect workers’ rights, safe job, and fair wages.

This past weekend we had another wonderful Saturday Campaign Cocktail Club! Thanks to everyone who came out to have a drink and support our cause. Campaigns are run and won with the support of a village, so thank you to everyone who makes up our village.

Two week ago, we celebrated an incredible win in the preliminary election — made possible by the support and belief of this community. Now, we’re looking ahead to the November 4th election. We have strong momentum, but there’s still a lot of work to do to cross the finish line.

I’ve long respected Matt McLaughlin for his leadership in the community and on the council, and his dedication to public service. I really appreciate the perspective Matt brings as a lifelong Somerville resident.

Special shoutout to Maryom Hair Design, a woman- and immigrant-owned hair salon that’s been in Winter Hill for decades. I’ve been trusting Maryom with my hair for the past eight years. Maryom sees clients by appointment only. Text 857.237.5600 to book an appointment.

Beautiful day to be in the streets, knocking doors, and chatting with neighbors about how we can work together to make Somerville the city we all deserve. Join me next time! Sign up to volunteer here: www.jakeforsomerville.org/volunteer

Campaign update! We’re excited to welcome Brenna Broderick as our Campaign Finance Director. Brenna’s skills in fundraising and community engagement will be key along Jake’s path to election. We’re so excited to have her on the team!

Great day at the Oxford Street Block Party! One of the best parts of the campaign trail is catching up with longtime friends and making new ones.

Spent some time today at the Spring Street block party! They had some very cool ideas for how to repurpose a median space into more community space. Thanks for letting me stop by!

As the chair of the Finance Committee, I really relished working closely with Sarah as the chair of the School Committee's Finance and Facilities Subcommittee, especially during budget season.

A special shoutout and thank you to our friend and dedicated volunteer John Caruso. John was at the polls from dawn to dusk on Preliminary Day last week, and has been an enthusiastic supporter through the campaign. Thank you John!

Honored to receive the endorsement of Teamsters Local 122, whose members include workers who sell and deliver wine and spirits here in Somerville, who keep patients and staff safe at CHA, and who work at various housing authorities in surrounding communities.

This week’s campaign newsletter hit inboxes today. In it, I reflect on an incredible week of support, energy and enthusiasm from folks across Somerville who believe in a city that works for everyone.

Continuing our weekly tradition of Campaign Cocktail Club this Saturday! Some yummy cocktails, mocktails, wine and beer on the menu, with Jake behind the bar. Join us to get to know the issues Jake stands for, support the campaign, and have a drink with friends!

What are you up to this weekend? Join Jake on the doors! The campaign is full steam ahead after a great preliminary last week. We’ve got canvass slots open both Saturday & Sunday, morning and afternoon — newcomers welcome!

Well, it’s official - the version of this post that included my (multiple) typos got many more likes than the corrected one. The people have spoken and they like my typos.

Beyond thrilled to have the support of my friend and colleague, Ward 3 City Councilor @benforward3.bsky.social. I've long admired Ben's approach to public service and his leadership on the City Council, and I can't wait to work with him as Mayor!

Wishing a very happy and sweet 5786 to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah!

We closed out the night with another Saturday Campaign Cocktail Club. Thanks to everyone who came out to socialize while raising money for the homestretch. We'd love to have you join us this coming Saturday!

Closed out the day in Ward 5 at the always-excellent Glenwood Road block party, seeing longtime friends and meeting some new people.

Union Square was absolutely packed for #flufffestival. It was great talking to so many of you!

Started out Saturday canvassing in Davis Square -- and making a new friend -- then hit the Irving Street block party

It's Saturday, and that means Campaign Cocktail Club tonight. Jake will be behind the bar making cocktails and mocktails and serving wine and beer. Come have a night out while helping us raise critical money for the stretch run! RSVP here: www.jakeforsomerville.org/campaign_coc...

It's all gas, no brakes through November 4, and we're keeping the momentum going from Tuesday's big preliminary election victory with another weekend of canvassing.

Thanks, @somershade.bsky.social. I appreciate you showing up for our (sometimes lengthy) City Council meetings, writing in long form and talking on social media about what's happening in Somerville government, and for just making it easier for others to engage with Somerville civics.

After talking to neighbors at multiple block parties earlier in the day, we held our latest Campaign Cocktail Club on Saturday night, with a Brazilian theme on National Caipirinha Day and the week of Brazilian Independence Day.

Started out Saturday morning at Triangle Field by meeting a lot of SYS families with younger kids who came in after my time leading the organization.

4️⃣ days until the preliminary election! Join our Get Out the Vote effort by RSVPing here: www.jakeforsomerville.org/september_16...

Proud to have the endorsement of my ward councilor, Ward 4's @councilorclingan.bsky.social. Jesse and I have worked together closely on projects like 299 Broadway (the old Star Market in Winter Hill) and the Healey Schoolyard, and policy like our work on labor and accessibility issues.

🇧🇷 It's National Caipirinha Day on Saturday, and we'll be celebrating Brazil's national cocktail at Campaign Cocktail Club that night.

🚨 FINAL WEEKEND BEFORE THE PRELIMINARY! It's our last opportunity to get out and talk to the voters ahead of the September 16 preliminary election. We need *YOU* to come join us and go out knocking doors to spread the word about Jake and his vision for Somerville.

🐀 Our latest campaign newsletter went out to subscribers, and it deals with rats. We need to get serious about our rodent issues and we need a real plan to turn things around. You can read a web version here: www.jakeforsomerville.org/sept_10_camp...

The three mayoral candidates each cut candidate videos at the @somervillemediacenter and have participated in four mayoral candidate forums in recent months. You can watch all of those videos here: www.jakeforsomerville.org/mayoral_cand...

We held our final campaign fundraiser before Tuesday's preliminary election last night at Casey's. Thanks to @randwilson.bsky.social for emceeing our speaking program, @councilorclingan.bsky.social and Lance Davis for speaking, and everyone who came out and donated.

I really appreciate the support of former Ward 5 Councilor Mark Niedergang in this election. He has a stellar background as an elected official in Somerville and played an instrumental role in my first Councilor-At-Large campaign four years ago.

🚨*TONIGHT*! Join us at Casey's at 6 PM for our final campaign fundraiser before Tuesday's preliminary election. Have some pizza & wings and celebrate this Somerville-powered campaign we've built. Hear from electeds backing Jake for mayor and learn how you can help make sure we go through next week!
