Evan MacKay @evanforcambridge.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Thank you, and solidarity forever.
I congratulate Representative Marjorie Decker on winning the election for State Rep in Cambridge. I am profoundly grateful to every voter and volunteer who made our campaign possible.

Although we did not win this election, we built something real. Together, we knocked 54,054 doors. 653 people volunteered. We took on the political establishment and built a movement that could not be ignored. Thousands of neighbors joined conversations about getting ICE out of Mass., getting money out of politics, and delivering a State House that works for everyone. Those relationships and the power people discovered in acting together will endure. We look forward to working with Representative Decker and our community in advancing the commitments made during this election.

This campaign may be ending, but our movement's fight for democracy and transparency continues. Thank you, Cambridge. I love you all, and I look forward to continuing to organize alongside all of you. Solidarity forever!

Cambridge is not for sale. Hospital CEOs have checks. We’ve got the people. Corporate lobbyists and billionaires can spend all they want on our opponent, but they can’t buy a conversation at the door. They can’t buy solidarity. And they sure as hell can’t buy this election.

Our volunteer canvassers and neighbors have seen these flyers around Cambridge today. We have no idea who put these up, but we want to be clear that these did not come from our campaign or from anybody supporting us.

Cambridge has been crushed by rising costs of housing ever since rent control was outlawed across Massachusetts in 1994, as Massachusetts has not built enough housing throughout our state. The state blocks cities like Cambridge from enacting local solutions to protect renters.

Bike canvass to get out the vote for @evanforcambridge.bsky.social!
Me and Evan, helmets and Evan buttons proudly displayed, grinning at the camera as we prepare to start ANOTHER shift of GOTV canvassing. Cars rumble down Mass Ave in the distance but you know what, there's a protected bike lane between the sidewalks and the cars and so we felt quite safe biking around!

Denise Provost is a former State Rep from Somerville who has experienced firsthand the obstacles that get in the way of passing good policy on Beacon Hill.

Evan MacKay @evanforcambridge.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Massachusetts is the last blue state with a voluntary 287(g) agreement with ICE. The PROTECT Act was an important victory, won by immigrants and advocates who spent years pressuring Beacon Hill. But the work isn’t finished. The law leaves a massive loophole that allows this agreement to continue.

Healthcare industry CEOs and lobbyists have been funding Rep Decker’s campaign. As Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Health, our opponent is responsible for oversight and regulation of public health in MA. Those who profit from the healthcare crisis trust Rep Decker.

Massachusetts loves to call itself progressive. But too often, bold ideas go to die at the State House.

Evan MacKay @evanforcambridge.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
The State House has enough politicians who know how to fall in line. Evan knows how to organize people to fight back. When union insiders tried to intimidate reformers and drown out dissent, Evan kept organizing, helping win historic democratic reforms and usher in new leadership at the @uaw.org.

Marjorie Decker must be spending *so much* on her campaign. Just today I got 5 different mailers from her. This weekend I *twice* saw a billboard truck driving around advertising Decker. I also see way more Decker lawn signs than signs for anyone else for any office. I'm voting for Evan MacKay.

Our opponent has raised the most donations of any political campaign in Cambridge history. Who is behind the money seeking to keep Rep Decker in office? John Fish is a billionaire and CEO of Suffolk Construction, which is negotiating to build a new women’s prison in Mass.

Evan MacKay @evanforcambridge.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
The people of Cambridge are among the most progressive in the state, and the Mass Democratic party platform articulates bold progressive policies. Yet the action taken by our state government lags behind our values. Join us by Sept 1st to help change that.
Evan MacKay is running for safety and belonging for all

1. Protect MA communities
2. End state collaboration with ICE
3. Ban surveillance fusion centers
4. Fully fund immigrant legal aid

My opponent is raking in cash from big donors & setting new records for money in Cambridge politics. I’ve repeatedly challenged her to join me in taking the People’s Pledge, so we can have a clean election. She’s refused. And now a shadowy Super PAC is flooding Cambridge with mailers on her behalf.

The housing crisis is crushing working people. So many people are being priced out of communities we love. Many face grim financial realities under the status quo, especially when they are looking to start or grow a family. This isn’t an accident or a force of nature. It’s a policy choice.
