Alicia Bowman has been a wonderful advocate for progressive policies in the city of Newton. She has brought to the role of city councilor a longstanding commitment to and understanding of transportation and infrastructure issues.

Newton is a better, more accessible place for the work of this dedicated public servant. I strongly endorse her campaign for reelection.
