By Leland Cheung, Candidate for State Senate
I wanted to share some exciting news with you: I’m running for State Senate.

Our extended community of the Second Middlesex district, including Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, and Winchester, is an amazing place to live. We simultaneously enjoy a long, rich history and also represent the future, both economically and culturally. It’s why my wife and I decided to settle down and raise our children here.
For all that’s great about our community, we still face incredible challenges – a Green Line the state is threatening to let fall off the tracks, a housing market that’s pricing people out, persistent delay in the expansion of early education, an innovation economy that remains inaccessible to many, an environment in peril, and a government that all too often puts the interests of big business over those of small families like ours.
We have an opportunity to join together and demand that our government make the choices necessary, and take action now, to address those challenges head on. That’s why I’m running for State Senate and asking for your support.
We’re going to win this campaign in the field; people are going to be shocked see me personally at their door and in awe of how visible we are. But the Beacon Hill establishment is not going to be behind us. If you can chip in today, it would go a long way in helping us launch this campaign.
As always, I want to hear from you – if you have any concerns, if there is an issue you think I should know about, or if you want to help out with the race let me know at [email protected] or call me on my cell at (617) 444-9080. I hope that you will stand with me in this race and thank you in advance for all of your support.
