Somerville Mayoral Candidate Hosting First Campaign Event

SOMERVILLE, MA — A mayoral campaign kickoff event is being held for Jake Wilson on Saturday, Jan. 11 at Highland Kitchen on 150 Highland Ave.

The two-term Councilor-At-Large announced his mayoral campaign in December. The two-hour event begins at 2 p.m. and is being orchestrated by The Committee to Elect Jake Wilson. Attendees will be served complementary food, with refreshments also available for purchase from a cash bar. Wilson said that he expects a large turnout for his campaign’s first public event and has already seen a lot of enthusiasm from residents since announcing his candidacy.

“I’m looking forward to talking about my vision for our Somerville and my plan to get us there, and I can’t think of a more perfect place to do this than Highland Kitchen,” Wilson said.

Born in Minnesota, Wilson spent the majority of his childhood in rural Iowa. He first came to the Boston area in 1999 when he moved to Brighton. In 2004, he moved to the Winter Hill area with his wife, Catherine where he has resided ever since.
