One of my favorite moments at the polls on Tuesday was when a couple walked up to the Morse School with their dog Nora and I offered to watch her while they went inside to vote. As I like to say: dogs are constituents, too! 🐶 💗 🎉

Connolly sets the record straight
For the past five months, candidate Neil Miller has made false and distorted claims about my work in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and in our Cambridge and Somerville community. On the eve of the Democratic primary, I want to correct the record. Mr. Miller and I agree that the rent is too high and that the legislature needs to do more in response to the housing crisis.

The challenger in the race for the 26th Middlesex continues to make dishonest claims about my record on housing. It's disrespectful to the voters, and our Cambridge and Somerville community deserves better. In the following blog post, I correct the record. www.mikeconnolly.org/neil_miller_...
