Today's Ward 6 campaign news: Liz Weinbloom's campaign music video; PDS endorses Lance Davis

[ron_newman]

from Boston Magazine: Somerville Alderman Candidate Releases Anti-Gentrification Ukulele Song. It's a music video by Somerville musician Amy Kucharik, in support of Elizabeth Weinbloom. Even if you're supporting another candidate, you'll probably enjoy watching this.

Progressive Democrats of Somerville endorse Lance Davis. (Full disclosure: I'm a longtime member of this organization.) PDS sent questionnaires to all four candidates, and you can read their responses here.

Affordable housing is a huge issue, and not just because of some lawyers moving into the city. There has been a lack of action on the city to combat rising rents. There's a real risk of losing the wonderful artist community Somerville is known for.

It's unfortunate that the Globe wrote a misrepresenting title. I think you are the only candidate that has come up with any solution for it that has some weight. I don't know why no one else here is acknowledging that.

*correction: Boston Magazine was the one that wrote the misrepresenting title

Thanks for this, Lanze. The misleading headline is unfortunately undermining the utility of an otherwise excellent article that discusses my real policy ideas in a way that none of our local publications have.
