A Democrat in his third term as City Councillor, the Vice Mayor wants to increase affordable housing through increased home ownership programs, better connect the local economy to Cambridge's employment base and work for children via after-school programs and public education.

Candidate statement: " I still consider myself very much a street-corner politician. I bring a perspective from the generation that thinks less about political posturing and more about dealing with the biggest societal problems."

Dorothy M. Giacobbe, 55

A longtime employee of the City of Cambridge, Giacobbe has been an activist in local causes like the Eviction Free Zone. She wants to institute rent control, prevent overdevelopment (especially by universities) and promote city employee's rights.
