THANK YOU!
Dear Friends
First, I want to thank the voters for re-electing
me to the City Council, then to thank my colleagues on the Council for
giving me their vote of
confidence.
On January 14, 2008 I was sworn in as mayor of the City of
Cambridge. It is a sincere pleasure to be able to serve in the city of
my birth. I
never
imagined that one day I would have such an honor and privilege.
Cambridge
is an incredible city.
I am currently serving my fourth term on the Cambridge City Council.
And, as mayor, I am the chair of the City Council and the School Committee.
The mayor also serves ex-officio on the subcommittees of the City Council.
As Mayor, I will continue engaging the community through the town meeting
model. It is my hope to hold a follow up to the Race and Class forum
as well as the second GLBT town meeting. As the chair of the school
committee I will
work toward supporting family involvement and pursue new ways to achieve
Academic Excellence.
This is an historic occasion for the African American community and
the GLBT community to have one of their own serving Mayor of a major
city.
A native
Cantabridgian, I have worked tirelessly for the city. I look forward
to this new term, serving as Mayor and with working with and for the
community
Sincerely,
E. Denise Simmons
Mayor
