Leland Cheung Announces Campaign for State Senate

Cambridge City Councilor Leland Cheung today announced his campaign for State Senate in the Second Middlesex district, which includes Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and Winchester.

“Our communities are unarguably the best place in the world to live,” said Cheung. “We 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 promise, we still face incredible challenges – a Green Line that’s threatening to fall off the tracks, a housing market that’s pricing people out, school systems that continue to delay the promise 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.”

Cheung today filed his committee paperwork with OCPF and pulled signature papers. A formal campaign kickoff will be held in the next few weeks.
