 This morning, I was finally sworn in as a Cambridge City Councillor. It's official! I want to thank all of the wonderful people who took time out of their lives over the past year to support me however they could. Over the next two years, I look forward to working with my colleagues to make progress on the many issues facing our city.

One of the highlights of Election Day was going to the polls with my daughter who recently turned 18. She voted for the first time! Thank you to my amazing family for supporting and joining me on this wild journey. Radhika, Jahnavi, and Sunil, I cannot thank you enough for so gracefully putting up with it.

Some of our supporters at 8:15 PM on Tuesday, just after the polls closed. Everyone was tired, damp and cold, but proud of what we had accomplished. Special shout out to my brother-in-law Gaurav who joined us all the way from Michigan, and Jesse, who drove down from Maine to help out!

Because of several memory card failures delaying the vote count, we didn't get the results until about 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning. With CCTV going offline, we headed over to the senior center for the big announcement in person. Special thanks to State Rep. Mike Connolly and City Councillor Nadeem Mazen for their unwavering support!

Once again, THANK YOU! This has been a collaborative effort, and for us to be successful, we will need to continue working together. In the coming months, don't hesitate to reach out and share your ideas, challenges or problems. I am here to serve you, and I promise that I won't let you down. And be on the lookout for how you can stay involved and achieve our goals of justice together!
One more thing. You all have been very generous in financially supporting our campaign. If you haven't given recently, please consider making a contribution to help cover the cost of our final "get out the vote" effort. I pay all my staff $15 an hour!
In solidarity,
Q
