Suzanne Lee for Boston City Council, District 2

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

It’s hard to believe that it has been over a year since we built an amazing, people-powered grassroots campaign that nearly accomplished the unthinkable. It is a rare thing in Massachusetts politics to defeat a sitting incumbent. And yet together, we came within 97 votes of victory. I see our efforts as a victory for all who want greater collaboration across our district aimed at solving those problems that we care about and that strengthen our families and neighborhoods.

Since our first campaign, my passion and energy and commitment to providing greater public service for our communities has not subsided. I have continued to listen to and work with residents throughout the district, remaining active in our city, and working toward ways to problem solve and ensure a better quality of life for our neighborhoods now and in the future.

I have had discussions throughout our neighborhoods about strengthening our communities through smart development that creates jobs, making sure that every Boston child receives a quality public education no matter what school they go to or what the assignment process is, and always ensuring that our neighbors and residents have a voice in the decisions that impact their lives. I am humbled that so many in every neighborhood of the city have encouraged me to once again run for the council.

It is with great excitement and pride that I announce today that I’m running again for Boston City Council District 2. I can’t wait to start on the campaign trail, talking to residents from South Boston to Chinatown, Fort Point Channel to Bay Village, the Wharf District to the South End. I’m anxious to meet new residents who have moved into the district and those who are just becoming active in the political process. And mostly, I’m excited to work again with each of you, continuing our grassroots movement and building diverse coalitions across this district and our city.

The challenge is great, but with your help, I know we will win. I hope you’ll join our campaign and volunteer or donate using the buttons on this page.

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
