Dear fellow Bostonians,
I am Erin Murphy, and I am humbly seeking your support for re-election as your At-Large City Councilor on November 7th. Over the past two years, it has been both an honor and a privilege to serve the vibrant and diverse communities of our great city. I want to share with you why I am the best choice to continue representing your interests on the City Council.
1. A Record of Results: During my time as your City Councilor, I have been dedicated to delivering tangible results for our neighborhoods. From advocating for better schools, safer streets, the cost of housing, and delivering on constituent services. I have demonstrated my commitment to improving the quality of life for all Bostonians.
2. A Strong Advocate for Education: As a former Boston Public School student, parent, and teacher, I know firsthand that investing in our children's education is an investment in our city's future. I have consistently championed policies to enhance our schools, ensuring that every child in Boston has access to a high-quality education at a safe and thriving school close to home.
3. Affordable Housing and Equitable Development: As a renter, I know the stress that rising housing costs put on households. Boston's affordability challenges are real, and I've been at the forefront of advocating for affordable housing solutions and responsible development practices that will not displace our communities.
4. Public Safety and Community Policing: I am committed to making Boston safer for all residents. I support community policing efforts that build trust between our law enforcement and the communities they serve.
5. Environmental Stewardship: I recognize the urgency of addressing climate change. I have been a strong advocate for sustainable policies, from promoting a comprehensive plan for our waterfront to expanding green spaces and increasing energy efficiency.
6. Accessibility and Transparency: Your voice matters. I have always made it a priority to be accessible to residents, attending community meetings in every neighborhood and listening to your concerns. You know where I stand on the issues and will continue to champion transparency and speak my mind to stand up for you.
7. Proven Leadership: My experience on the City Council and my deep ties to our communities enable me to navigate the complexities of city government effectively. I will continue to collaborate with fellow councilors, community leaders, and city officials to get things done for Boston. You can count on me to continue to show up every day and work hard for you!
8. A Bostonian through and through: I love our city, and I am deeply committed to its future. As a lifelong Boston resident, former Boston Public School teacher and single mom who raised my four children here, I understand our unique challenges and opportunities, and I am dedicated to making Boston a better place for all of us.
On November 7th, I ask for your vote to continue representing your interests and working tirelessly to build a brighter future for Boston. Together, we can achieve great things for our city.
Thank you for your trust and support.
