Having grown up as the daughter of a nurse’s aide who was a shop steward for her union, Marjorie knows the important role that unions play in our community. When the union was forced out of her mother’s work place, the pay decreased and the working conditions deteriorated. She will continue to be a strong advocate for the rights of workers in our community.
Marjorie has made affordable housing a hallmark of her time in public service, balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders to ensure that Cambridge remains an environmentally friendly and affordable community with open space and economic development. As a product of public housing herself, Marjorie understands the importance of providing affordable alternatives for families of varying socio-economic backgrounds so that Cambridge maintains its diversity and culture.
Marjorie knows that we all want our children to be able to grow up in a safe and healthy environment. Environmental concerns necessitate a long-term approach with forward-thinking individuals. Too often in big cities, adjustments to environmentally friendly products and equipment come as an afterthought. Marjorie will continue to examine and propose opportunities in our cities that are good for not only our residents, but also the children and grandchildren of our residents. 
Quality of life depends on many factors, and Marjorie knows that Cambridge has a responsibility to provide its residents with opportunities to live long, healthy lives. There are numerous ways to help Cambridge achieve this, and Marjorie has supported an array of methods to protect individuals from asbestos and promote healthy living.
Cambridge has a long history of supporting creative arts, and Marjorie has continually demonstrated her support of the arts despite multiple occasions when funding cuts have been threatened by city government. Arts and music help keep Cambridge a diverse community and attract rising stars in a variety of fields. Cambridge is a better city because of the contribution of those at Club Passim, the Brattle Theater, the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center and many others.
