I got involved with the Democratic Party in Somerville because I find Somerville to be a little gem of Democracy! A town with people who love their freedom! I love so many things about our community - the diversity, the greenway, and our thriving business community. I love that we can walk anywhere in town and see small miracles that remind me of the peace-loving country we live in. Democratic ideals of inclusion and prosperity reign here.
