Preparing our city to achieve its destiny will require strong leadership.

Boston is the engine of the state's economy.

Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.

Currently, Boston has only nine percent of the state's population - but we provide more than 16 percent of the jobs and 19 percent of the state's revenues.

Children need continuity as they grow and learn.

I am working hard to ensure that working families can continue to afford to live in our city.
