Marie has a great report on RichardHowe.com about City Councilor candidate Mehmed Ali’s first fundraiser last night. I couldn’t make it, so I was glad I could read about it. (Blogs are keen!)
Interesting was the mix of sitting elected officials and candidates, as well as mix of cultural and community leaders and residents.
Congrats to Mehmed on his first successful event! We can’t forget the city council and school committee races in the rush to elect a new Congressional representative. The future of our city rides just as much on former as the latter.

This was a great showing for a worthy candidate. The crowd was both large and diverse. (The food spread was pretty impressive too!) I’d have to say from what I observed he has an excellent chance to gain a seat on the council. If you wanted to see a candidate reach out to all the people in the city across every line, you should have been there.

I agree that Mehmed is a great candidate and not one of the GOB’s. He has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for the city.
