Vote Mama, an organization established to build the political power of moms and pass truly family-friendly policies, has endorsed Katjana Ballantyne for a third term as Mayor of Somerville.
“I’m proud to be endorsed by Vote Mama and join an incredible network of Democratic moms who are fighting for the future our kids deserve,” said Ballantyne. “I’ve made sure that in Somerville everyone has a seat at the table and have made a special effort to reach out to groups like single moms and immigrants who may have felt no one was listening to them.”
"Katjana is exactly the kind of leader we need in every corner of the country—bold, thoughtful, and rooted in her community,” said Liuba Grechen Shirley, founder and CEO of Vote Mama. “She brings a mom’s perspective to public service—one that prioritizes care, equity, and opportunity. From affordable housing to economic justice, she is fighting for truly family-friendly policies that families need to thrive. We’re proud to support her as she continues transforming Somerville from the ground up.”
