When you grow up, get a job that pays well, is very stable, and won't get you in trouble. So I've now been dragged before Congress, threatened with criminal prosecution, working really hard. But at the end of the day, this is where it matters.

All of the programs that we put in place to keep the streets clean, to make our schools actually supportive for our students, to protect people in our communities in a really scary moment, that is what city government is for.

How far do I have to say it? I ran to make sure that families would have a place in our city.

And you back it up with work. Every day that I served on the city council, I was out in neighborhood meetings. I was writing policies that we now have in place to protect our communities and give people opportunity. And it's about making sure that everyone feels part of the decisions that are being made.

Boston is a very passionate city. We cheer hard for our sports teams and people look at politics and government and being involved in the community the same way. And it's pretty hard to make the greatest city on earth even better, but we are working every day to make sure that housing costs can be brought down.

I think it's that... People have a lot to say, and everyone's voice has a place in our community. And when you have so many decisions that come after a long history also of being a place where, for 400 years, people have stood up for the right thing, fought hard to make a difference, finding that consensus is complicated. It's beautiful. It's a hard job. You can't fake it.

In Boston, people will call you out. So you have to show up everywhere and keep working. And it's a hard job, but it's the best job. And I love it.
