The only competitive race on my Democratic ballot in #Middlesex County this year in #SomervilleMA is for the State Rep, with the incumbent Ericka #Uyterhoeven and challenger Kathleen #Hornby.

I'm solid about where I'm placing my support, though am curious what others think. Thus, a thread, starting with both candidates' responses to Somerville Bicycle Safety's questionnaire. TLDR both are frequent bikers, want safer streets, advocate to improve the MBTA, but their stated approaches differ. Recommended read if you're a transit policy wonk or undecided.

Flag got raised. Protestors did praxis supporting Gaza (and MC city councilor Ben Ewen-Campen gave them a shoutout). There was a horse, and a group sing of Yankee Doodle. Ran into friends. A+ city. Happy New Year #SomerPol

Continuing this from October - I'm in Ward 5, so there's decisions to be made: I'm going for the immigrant union schoolteacher who's backed by longtime Alderman Niedergang and a bunch of labor groups over the guy who ran the departing Ward 5 councilor's campaign.

4 out of the 5 at large councilors are all we get to pick, and I am confident that former city councilor Will Mbah will do a good job. That means I'm still stuck voting out someone else, and unfortunately its Councilor Strezo struck from the list, despite her many excellent qualities.
