Welcome!  I am excited to be serving my first term as a Cambridge city councillor.  Being sworn in to office on January 1, 2024 was an honor that comes with the responsibility of staying in touch and listening to residents and businesses so I can best represent your voice on the council. To be effective in my city council role, it is important for me to be in touch directly with you and I am launching a periodic newsletter to share my views and update you on important city council actions. I also need and want to hear from you on the important issues facing Cambridge. I welcome your viewpoint on specific policies that will be before the council. Please reach me at jpickett@cambridgema.gov for official city business and at joan@joanpickett.org for other matters.  I am always glad to meet with you and community groups to share information.

If we did not meet during the campaign, you will find my background and position on various issues on this website. This website will also serve as the archive for my newsletters so you can follow my work on the council.

I look forward to staying in touch and keeping you informed about the issues important to you. If you are not on my email list, please consider signing up.
