I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been touched by mental health challenges. As a social worker, I’ve witnessed the gaps in our system. As a City Councillor, I have seen how mental health impacts housing, food, and employment. Personally, I have lost people I love because of mental health struggles.

It was an honor to be sworn in for my 7th term on the Cambridge City Council. Thank you to my family, my campaign team, and my friends and supporters. I will continue working to address our housing shortage, and make Cambridge an economically and socially just community for all.

Great day with my father at the Resist The Regime rally in DC today. Over 100,000 of my closest friends.

Now, it is up to all of us to come together, leave the campaign season behind, and work collaboratively for the people of Cambridge. I am excited for the work ahead and for the chance to continue building a stronger, more inclusive Cambridge. Let’s unite for all of Cambridge and get to work.

This election showed that residents want action and collaboration, not division or delay, and they expect us to govern with compassion and never lose sight of our neighbors who are struggling.

171

The voters sent a clear message. They want a City Council that will move forward, not backward, and that will act boldly on housing, safe streets, and building a city that welcomes everyone.

To my wife, Mary Anne, and my children, thank you for your love and your patience. I know campaign season disrupted our routines more than once, and your support made it all possible.

And to our incredible core volunteer team, including Pamela, Jess, Elizabeth, Alison, Sarah, Kara, and Quentin, thank you for giving your time, energy, and so much of yourselves to make this campaign possible. Your dedication and generosity mean more than I can say.

To our staff: Stella, Lucy, Jack, Carl, Weyni, Siraaj, Thomas, and Lucy A.., and to my ‘high school brigade’ Sadie, Oliver, Omer, Gryffin, Tomás, and Grady, your hard work, creativity, and optimism kept us moving forward every single day.

My campaign manager, Eric Toalson, led with tireless energy and determination. His steady leadership and skill in managing a dedicated team were the backbone of this effort. He ran a campaign that reached every neighborhood in Cambridge and kept us organized, focused, and inspired.

Voting is at the heart of Democracy and I want to thank everyone who voted on Tuesday. I also want to congratulate everyone who ran for City Council and School Committee. Putting yourself out there takes courage, and every candidate deserves respect for stepping up to serve their community.

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to the Joint Committee on Housing at the State House in favor of the Act to Promote Yes in my Backyard. We need to build more housing and we need every community to help. Thank you, Abundant Housing MA

The first step to getting re-elected to the City Council is to get on the ballot. What better way to do that than to have a Nomination Paper Signing Party! Join me on Thursday, July 17th, from 5 to 7 pm. at the 730 Tavern in Central Square for complimentary appetizers and sign my papers!

Hi John. My comment about it being an event split was in response to Councillor Toner saying there were many more emails in support of two lanes. The main reason I supported the current configuration is because it's safer.

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Cambridge, MA, has joined 11 other communities from around the country on an amicus brief challenging the Dept. Of Homeland Security's decision to revoke TPS for Venezuelans. Keep fighting!

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Participation in the illegal sex trade is not merely a lapse in judgment. It fuels an industry that exploits and harms women. As this case advances, the Council, and more specifically, Councillor Toner, will need to make decisions on how to move forward. 2/2

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Councillor Paul Toner has been named and charged in connection with a brothel operating in Cambridge. It is important to note that Councillor Toner has not been found guilty and is entitled to due process. However, the nature of these charges is deeply concerning. 1/2

We have increased it every year until it reached $1 million. Last year was $2 million because it was the 10th anniversary.

Proud of Cambridge, MA for signing on to an amicus brief challenging the Department of Homeland Security's decision to revoke an 18 month extension of Temporary Protective Status for 350,000 Venezuelans who will lose TPS. We have to fight this hatred in the streets and in the courts!

The question for me is not about purchasing the new technology, but where the money is coming from. I would like to find a way to have it come from money that has already been allocated. If it can't, then it can't, but we have to check.

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

I'm proud to have co-authored a policy order, which passed unanimously, adding transgender and non-binary residents to protections under our Sanctuary City Ordinance. In is imperative that we push back against hate.

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Thank you to everyone who supported the Multi-Family Housing Ordinance that passed 8-1. Thx to my colleagues @SumbulSiddiqui and @BurhanAzeem, who led the charge. We can’t address a housing shortage without building housing. Let's keep moving Cambridge forward!

Thank you for those kind words. I truly appreciate it.

There is concern that this rally is not legit. I don't really know, but do your research before you go.

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

John, I was asked by a few people to change "shall" to "must," so excuse me if I took 60 seconds to address that concern. For a guy who has never sat in that chair, you certainly have a lot to say.

Every Fall I raise money to purchase sleeping bags. I collect financial contributions throughout the year. If you have items, like coats, you can either bring them to 240 Albany St. or the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter at First Church.

MarcGov @marcgov.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Great conversation. Great people.

Republican elected officials want to impose conditions on federal aid to California. Is there no end to their evil?
