Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe.

I'm driven. I have the opportunity to change people's lives.

It's like an Alcatraz around my neck

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

One of our key strategies has been to restructure traditional high schools into small learning communities with personalized attention and a range of options.

I brought together experts from health care, business, academic institutions, and the community to develop a comprehensive blueprint for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the City of Boston.

Diversity gives our city a competitive edge.
