bullet-gray-smallA Better Cambridge: “Adriane Musgrave left her management consulting job to run for city council full time. She has put her remarkable analytical, report-reading and data-mining skills to good use in understanding seemingly every problem that Cambridge faces. Her passions are smart zoning and development, and creating inclusive prosperity for all.”


Musgrave is an accomplished professional, obviously smart and eager to serve – her tale of quitting a job to run full time for the council speaks to that. It’s easy to imagine her skills being put to good use when the time comes to analyze and approve a municipal budget, as well as if an all but inevitable downturn in Cambridge finances come while she’s serving. Points for her emphasis on taking current programs and improving them, such as taking the existing Community Engagement Team full time, rather than proposing all-new programs and initiatives; and for exhibiting firsthand knowledge of recent city history, such as flooding in The Port neighborhood, that shows she has some institutional memory for when it’s time to assess and act on resident complaints.
