Longtime activist Doug P. Brown has promised to be a “tireless supporter” of Cambridge families and a “strong advocate” for the environment if elected to Cambridge City Council.
In his first run for Council, Brown hopes to help families through expanded after-school options, improved bike safety, and controlled housing costs. Brown’s housing platform includes the creation of a housing bond, greater funding for first-time homeowners, and moderate zoning reforms.
Brown has committed to a “coalition position” of upholding the Cycling Safety Ordinance but believes the ordinance must be updated. He co-chaired the city’s Climate Zoning Task Force and founded Friends of the Greenway, a group advocating for green space in Cambridge and Watertown.
Brown did not respond to requests for an interview with The Crimson.
