Burhan Azeem hears you. More is possible, and he’s running for State Senate to improve your quality of life, not just maintain it. As a three-term Cambridge city councilor and now vice mayor, Burhan has brought an engineer’s eye to political problem-solving, and he’ll do the same to fight for you on Beacon Hill. Here’s what he’ll get done and how.
Medford passed its first-ever property tax override in 2024, and schools still had to cut $4 million from the budget. Perpetual property tax increases are not an option because seniors must be able to age in place and not be priced out of their homes. Burhan will update the funding formula so the state pays its fair share.
Year after year, Medford’s transit options keeping getting cut back. Burhan will protect the 94 bus, push to restore the 325 and 326 express buses, and fund the Green Line extension through West Medford.
I-93 makes East Medford’s neighborhoods loud and unhealthy. Burhan will fund new noise barriers and ensure MassDOT builds them. He’ll also win funding so Medford can clear its repaving backlog.
