“I’m proud of the work I’ve accomplished ever since coming back to the Boston City Council four years ago. To name a few: I’ve advocated for residents who have lived in our city longer and are more familiar with our communities to have equitable access to our civil service jobs; I’ve called for innovative methods to address school safety concerns; I’ve held recurring discussions with seniors on quality of life issues,” Flaherty stated. “Further, I’ve worked with community groups across the city on various fronts – most recently, the Community Preservation Act, an initiative that is on the next stage of implementation after gaining support from 74% of the voters in Boston last November.”
