I have had the pleasure of watching the growth of Paul Toner’s skills as a classroom teacher, local union president and MTA president. Among the constant characteristics he has brought to all these positions are thorough preparation, hard work, and an unfailing integrity. He has always listened to all sides of an issue and helped to bring about consensus. I am proud to endorse Paul for Cambridge City Council.

"Paul is devoted to, and passionate about, this city and its future. He has the intelligence, common sense, experience, and tenacity that are needed to respond to the changing political landscape and to make sure all our voices are heard. I'm supporting Paul because I know he will apply sound judgment and reason to the job of representing the people of the city and will work tirelessly to lead Cambridge into a bright future."
Anne Tallon
Upland Road Resident
“I have known Paul Toner for many years. He is a good friend and great dad. He has been a proven leader in his career and the community and will bring common sense leadership to the City Council. I am proud to support him in this campaign.”
Paul Lonergan
Upland Road Resident
I appreciate Paul’s sensible ideas on how to make biking as safe as possible. He understands the dangers of poorly built, badly maintained bike lanes and he believes, as I do, the bicyclists have a responsibility to follow the rules of the road to help keep everyone as safe as possible, including other cyclists like me. In a world where extreme groups stake out their positions, no matter how dangerous and unreasonable, Paul is uniquely capable of navigating the choppy waters of Cambridge’s Street safety discussions to help make us all safer. I am proud to support Paul Toner for Cambridge City Council.”
