New Voices: In one of the largest fields ever, we’ve been most impressed by these challengers, who have a history of advocating for practical change in Cambridge:

• Eugenia Schraa Huh - vocal supporter of advanced learning, smart data-driven policy maker, afterschool advocate who improved teacher pay (CALA-member favorite)

• Anne Coburn - strong voice for twice-exceptional learners, concrete policy goals

​

Incumbents with Proven Records: These candidates have directly advocated within the school committee during the past two years (bringing back Algebra 1 in 8th grade, creating a real advanced learning policy)

• Richard Harding - powerful and persuasive voice for advanced learning, wants high expectations in our classrooms

• Elizabeth Hudson - math and science education is her campaign platform, relentless push for excellence at CPS

Other Challengers to Rank:
