My name is Jonathan Janik and I want to thank you for your interest in civic engagement by visiting this website. As a progressive Democrat, I am running because I believe in taking action.

I am running for Cambridge City Council and I am asking for your #1 vote, because we share the same beliefs and ideals. As a politically and civically minded individual, I am confident that my passion and commitment to Cambridge will draw your #1 vote on November 6. My platform addresses the most pressing issues for the city, including economic development for local businesses, public safety, improving public services (sidewalk maintenance, traffic signal synchronization), and maintaining Cambridge's precious green space, just to name a few.

While you consider my merits and ability to represent you as a member of the City Council, I encourage you to contact me about your concerns and ideas for the city. I want my candidacy to represent the views of all my neighbors. I believe that challenging problems are best tackled together through a collaborative and unified voice. Let's take them on, and protect the future of the city that we love so much.

Kind regards,

Jonathan Janik

I met my neighbor Ann at 6pm and together we drove around the Cambridge Highlands and discussed zoning in the quadrangle. We also chatted about local heroes and the type of candidates that are sought after in that neck of the woods. To my delight, I learned that the neighborhood reminded me of my small town values and I felt right at home.
