Written Questions:

1. How do you plan to provide affordable housing to enable middle and lower income people to live in Cambridge?

2. Voter turnout in municipal-only elections has been embarrassingly and dismally low in Cambridge.  Turnout at the 2005 municipal election was an all time low of 16,000; turnout at several recent special elections has been proportionately even lower,  in (in percentage terms) single digits, even low single-digits.  What do you think the Election Department and other city agencies should be doing to boost voter turnout?

3. How would you define being a "progressive leader"? Do you believe that you're a progressive leader, and if so, why?

4. If elected to the council for the 2008-2009 term, Will you have any other employment or professional activity at any time during that term.  If so, please describe the particulars and the approximate amount of your professional time that will be devoted to activities other than your service as a councillor.

5. Will you be seeking any other elective office during the 2008-2009 council term?
