Sullivan, whose son, Michael Jr., is 11 months old, seems to care the most about education. He says that the city needs to beef up the schools that do not perform well so that all children can receive a good education.
The city should combine internal and external resources--such as Lesley College, Harvard and MIT--to give kids "the best we can," he says. "For us all not to work together doesn't bode well," he explains.
Sullivan, who brings Michael Jr. with him to work, gets excited when talking about his son.
"It gives you pause to think about things that you didn't think about before," he says. Sullivan adds that he often brought Michael Jr. along with him during his campaign this year.
"He brightens up in large groups," he says.
Sullivan, who also practices part-time as an attorney in East Cambridge, says that he loves Cambridge for the richness and variety of its community.
"I can't imagine living anyplace else," he says.
