I have known Steve Rideout since he and Bobbie moved to Cambridge in 2010, as both a friend and a co-worker on civic projects.  I have attended many City Council meetings in which he played an active role in examining, evaluating, and voting on issues important to the city of Cambridge.  In each and every case it was clear to me that Steve learned every last detail of the topic at hand, looked at the issues from both sides of the “plate”, and voted in the manner he thought most benefited the city.

Through the weekly Cambridge Matters publication he distributes, he has shown not only his depth of understanding of the issues, but more importantly has shown that he can communicate fairly and accurately all sides of important issues.

 I cannot think of anyone who would be a better mayor than Steve Rideout.
