Some personal news:

I’m not asking for your vote to be Cambridge’s next Mayor.

Here’s the problem though — no one is.

It’s time we changed that.

After a big snowstorm, it takes a lot of hands to get sidewalks and streets clear again.

Thanks to DPW and Cambridge residents for all your work!

And if you see a dangerous sidewalk or intersection that still needs to be cleared, please feel to reach out

Had a great time shoveling out crosswalks, bus stops, fire hydrants and sidewalks with @evanforcambridge and other @boston_dsa friends this morning!

"The actions we saw from the Trump administration are a violation of international law, they're also a violation of American laws," said Cambridge City Councilmember Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler. 📷

Hot take: Community-led governance isn’t scary. It’s actually two RFS alumni on the Cambridge City Council fighting like hell for affordable housing. @VoteJivan and Ayah Al-Zub are proving that governing with values is very much a thing. Your move. Run for office.

Excited to get to work with the new City Council on affordable housing & childcare, transportation and safe streets, & environmental justice!

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

Grateful to get to serve another term on the Cambridge City Council and for the family & friends who joined to celebrate Inauguration Day today!

And thankful for everyone who made who made this possible by door knocking, phonebanking, donating, and postcard writing.

Thank you

Excited to see our Boston DSA Cambridge City Councilors Ayah Al-Zubi and @VoteJivan be sworn in today!

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

It’s time we let more Cambridge residents than just the nine of us on City Council choose who fills this important role for our city government and schools

And as of 24 hours before Inauguration Day, it’s unclear who the next mayor will be because no City Councillor has the 5 votes they need.

Thank you @VoteJivan and @ayahalzubi for standing with C&W custodians on strike today!

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security guards from @32BJSEIU in their contract fight.

Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump.

If Harvard wants Cambridge to have its back, it needs to have the back of its workers

@VoteJivan:

"We all stood out here on Cambridge Common when Harvard was being attacked by the Trump Administration. [...] I am here to deliver the message that if Harvard wants Cambridge residents to stand with it, Harvard needs to have the backs of its workers!"

The results are a win for housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, & being a welcoming city.

I’m committed to making sure they are a win for working people in Cambridge.

I’m so grateful to everyone who made our 1st successful re-election campaign possible.

Thank you!

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

We did it!

Thank you to everyone who made this win to keep fighting for an affordable, inclusive, and sustainable Cambridge on the City Council possible.

I’m so grateful to every person who knocked doors, wrote postcards, donated, talked to friends & family, and voted

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

2 hours till polls close at 8pm!

More great conversations with voters—

The signature collection for 2026 ballot measures on rent control & state legislator stipend reform leading to great discussion about tenant protections & good governance!

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

If you care about housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, sustainability, and protecting immigrant residents, I’m asking for your #1 vote.

Let’s bring this home and keep fighting for a Cambridge that works for all of us

[Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler @VoteJivan]

Today is Election Day! Polls are open until 8pm.

I’ve never been successfully re-elected before—I lost my last re-election by a handful of votes. I’m hoping to change that today
