Cambridge InsideOut - July 18, 2017

Robert and Judy

Guest (5:30pm): Alanna Mallon, City Council candidate

Guest (6:00pm): Will MacArthur, School Committee candidate

We have no set agenda for candidate guests and we prefer to give candidates as much latitude as possible.

A sampler of some things people may want to hear about might include:

a) Background - personal and professional

b) Why on Earth are you running for City Council?

c) What distinguishes you from other candidates?

d) Besides everybody, are there any particular constituencies that you feel should consider voting for you? [issues, neighborhoods, age, etc.]

e) Your pitch - basically a sample of what you might say at your kickoff event

f) Who is supporting you? Event announcements? Anything else?

g) Any comments on current issues before the City Council or issues that may be anticipated.


Usual Topics:

1) Election Commission will likely have to limit number of rankings on City Council ballot due to number of candidates

2) 2017 Candidates     Cambridge Candidate Pages

Shapes of the campaign season to come

3) Civic Calendar


Continuing Question: How will the turmoil in national politics trickle down to the local level and, in particular, how might it influence the Cambridge municipal election?

Speculation: After over a century of non-partisan Cambridge elections (a major tenet of "The Cambridge Idea" dating back to the late 1800s), there are indications that "Our Revolution", the Bernie Sanders-driven national entity and effectively an emergent political party separate from the Democratic Party, may back candidates in the 2017 Cambridge municipal election.

Signatures are unofficially certified by Election Commission staff pending approval by Election Commission.

Reminder to all candidates – The deadline for submitting signatures is Monday, July 31 at 5:00pm. The Election Commission office will be open until 8:00pm that day, but the deadline is 5:00pm. Absolutely no exceptions will be made, so get your signatures in early. Do not wait until the last day.

July 18 - Piotr Flawiusz Mitros pulled papers to run for School Committee. We're now at 29 for Council and 12 for School Committee - at least for the moment. Richard Harding and Josh Burgin now have sufficient signatures to qualify to be on the City Council ballot - that's 17 candidates for City Council and 4 candidates for School Committee who have met the minimum number of required signatures (shown in bold in the table).

July 17 - Paul F. Mahoney (who ran in 2015) pulled papers for City Council. Elechi Kadete (who ran in 2015) pulled papers for School Committee.
Late Update: Richard Harding submiited 93 signatures for City Council at 7:59pm.

July 15 - Having now heard it from a number of reliable sources, it's pretty safe to now say that Richard Harding will soon be submitting signatures for City Council and not for School Committee. The Cambridge Candidate Pages have been updated to reflect this.

July 14 - No new candidates today, but Quinton Zondervan reached the threshold and is now on the City Council ballot.

July 13 - Emily Dexter pulled papers for School Committee which now accounts for all known candidates (which doesn't mean there won't be more). David J. Weinstein also pulled papers today for Cambridge School Committee. He was a candidate in 2015.

July 12 - The Election Commission met and officially certified all candidates who had submitted at least the minimum 50 valid signatures through July 12.

July 12 - No new candidates so far today, but Will MacArthur reached the threshold and is now on the School Committee ballot.

July 12 - Gwen Volmar issued a press release with some relevant information about her candidacy.

July 11 - Ilan Levy pulled papers today for City Council.

July 11 - We have a new City Council candidate: David J. Stern.

July 10 - Emily Dexter is having a Campaign Kick-Off party on Wednesday, July 26, 6-8pm at Asgard's Pub, 350 Mass Ave.

July 10 - Leland Cheung and Olivia D'Ambrosio pulled papers for City Council and Kathleen Kelly pulled papers for School Committee. Many candidates turned in signatures today.

July 7 - Fran Cronin's campaign issued a press release regarding "More Early Childhood Education in Cambridge".

July 6 - Perennial candidate Gregg Moree has pulled papers for City Council.

July 5 - Five more candidates pulled nomination papers for City Council (including Tim Toomey) for a total of 23 (including Richard Harding who pulled papers for both races). Three more candidates pulled papers for School Committee for a total of 7 so far.

July 3 - School Committee candidate Will MacArthur hosted a "Picnic & Politics" event at Danehy Park. In attendance were School Committee candidates Will MacArthur, Laurance Kimbrough and Emily Dexter as well as City Council candidates Craig A. Kelley, Alanna Mallon, Marc McGovern, Jeffrey Santos, Sumbul Siddiqui, Sean Tierney, and Quinton Zondervan. That's 10 candidates in all - pretty impressive!

July 3 - Municipal Election Nomination Papers available at Election Commission office from 8:30am to 8:00pm. Nomination papers will be available through the July 31 submission deadline during regular Election Commission hours. A minimum of 50 valid signatures must be filed and a candidate may submit up to 100 signatures. Once a voter's signature has been recorded for a particular candidate, it cannot be used for another candidate in the same race. That is, a voter should sign for exactly one candidate for City Council and one candidate for School Committee.

July 3 - Richard Harding has pulled papers for both City Council and School Committee. This is not the first time he's done that. He also pulled papers for both races in 2009 but only gathered signatures for School Committee.

July 3 - We have two new City Council candidates - Dan Lenke and Michelle Lessly.

July 3 - We have a new candidate for School Committee: Jake Crutchfield (who also ran in 2015)
A press release is included on Jake's Candidate Page.

July 1 - Paul Toner has picked up several union endorsements.

June 30 - And then there were 23. Bryan Sutton has filed papers with the Commonwealth to be a City Council candidate.

June 29 - Josh Burgin has filed papers with the Commonwealth to be a City Council candidate.

June 26 - Ilan Levy will apparently again be a City Council candidate.

June 22 - Fran Cronin will be hosting an issue forum on Tues, June 27 starting at 6:00pm at Atwood's Tavern (877 Cambridge St.).

June 21 - Marc McGovern has posted a re-election announcement.

June 21 - Denise Simmons has formally announced her reelection campaign and the date of her Campaign Kickoff (July 13).

June 21 - Paul Toner has hired Hannagh Jacobsen as Campaign Manager and has received the endorsement of Mass Retirees.

June 20 - Adriane Musgrave will have her campaign kickoff on Sat, June 24 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at Christopher's in Porter Square.

June 18 - No new candidates to report, but at what point does calling oneself a "progressive" in an election where all candidates are "progressive" render the term completely meaningless?

June 10 - We have a new City Council candidate: Gwen Volmar

June 9 - We have a new School Committee candidate: Laurance Kimbrough

June 7 - We have a new City Council candidate: Jeffrey Santos
