Key Issues

  • The “Bear” Necessities & Then Some - Doggo Health, Well-Being & Social Enrichment
  • Build, Back, Bear - Labor & Employment Participation for All Animals

I promise to transform Somerville from a "dog-friendly" city to a "dog-first" city. A dog-first city will unite, bring joy, and put Somerville nationally on the doggo map. I promise to commit the hours I'm not napping, lounging, or asking for snoogles ... to the dogs of Somerville.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME

The Most Important Question, Answered

You should vote for me as Somerville Dog Mayor because I'm a champion for all pups, young and old.

I have solid plans to address key issues for older, shyer, or less mobile dogs with innovative ideas like "Pup Potty Spaces," "Dog Lanes," and "Dog Watching" reserved areas at parks. My proposals show a thoughtful approach to creating an inclusive environment for every kind of canine. These are just SOME of the reasons I should be Somerville Dog Mayor.

Wanna Follow Me?

I don't have my own social media account, but as the Chief Dog Officer of Chappy's Pickles, you can find me making the occassional appearance on our company socials or in-dog – at farmers' markets and pop-ups. If you see me at a market, give me a boop! 

What Now?

I'm Ready TO VOTETAKE ME BACK TO FULL CANDIDATE LIST
