A great joy to attend the Italian Heritage Month flag raising!

So glad I got to attend the 20th Anniversary Celebration for Boston After School & Beyond. We heard about what’s working for out-of-school time in other communities to prioritize afterschool and summer learning for all.

Thanks for having me!

Honored to have the endorsement of former mayor and U.S. Congressman Mike Capuano. Mike’s career of work in Somerville, and across the greater Boston area, has deeply enriched our communities and civic services. His belief in my candidacy means so much.

Thank you Mike!

Thank you GBLC for your support! I'm excited about the prospect of working together to create a bright future for all Somervillians.

I’m incredibly honored to receive the endorsement of the Greater Boston Labor Council.

The GBLC represents thousands of union brothers and sisters of all trades, across Somerville and the surrounding areas, and their support means so much to me.

Last weekend’s Campaign Cocktail Club was packed with energy — a full house, great conversations, and great drinks from behind the bar.

We’re keeping the momentum going this weekend with another round of cocktails, mocktails, and wine and beer. Join us this Saturday!

Thank you to our friends at NASRCC Local 328 for their endorsement! Union carpenters build our communities and I’m humbled to have their support.

Special shoutout to friend of the camapign, Steven Flythe! Steven has been a dedicated volunteer, doorknocking on his own and with me and serving as an important voice on our kitchen cabinet.

Thanks for being on the team, Steven!

With each week closer to Election Day, more and more people are asking how they can help out and support the campaign. One of the main ways to help is by joining us on the doors to talk with voters about the upcoming election.

I appreciate every conversation I've ever had with Gene and I'm so grateful for his support and continued wise counsel as your next mayor.

Jake Wilson @jake4somerville.bsky.social · 3d

Gene Brune is a legend in Somerville politics for a reason. He knows first hand what it takes as mayor to overcome tough financial circumstances and create a culture where the City of Somerville is making people's lives better.

I've been writing and speaking a lot about this issue over the past year and I'm happy to talk to anyone about what we need to do in Davis and around the city to meet the challenge of a regional crisis being felt acutely here.

We had an overflow crowd for tonight's Davis Square Public Safety Meeting. While I appreciate the Mayor inviting me up to talk, the meeting wasn't the right venue for campaigning.

When your kid asks to join in on some canvassing for the first time and she gets a full range of door-knocking experiences, from an enthusiastic supporter to an undecided voter to a conversation in Spanish.

Weekends mean canvassing! The best part of campaigns is getting to meet with voters and have conversations about the city government they need.
