Bio

I’ve spent most of my life in Cambridge. I grew up on Ellery Street, lived on Homer Avenue, and recently moved back to Ellery Street.  I attended Longfellow grammar school, and Cambridge Rindge and Latin.  In high school I played both football and basketball; playing alongside Patrick Ewing when we won the state championship in 1980. After graduating high school I accepted a scholarship to play football at the University of Iowa. After two years of playing in the Big 10, including appearances in the Rose Bowl and the Peach Bowl, I decided to return to New England and finish my football career at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where I earned a degree in Sports Management.

After college, I worked for Poland Springs as a route salesman, and worked my way up to become Northeast Regional Manager. At the same time, I served as Middlesex County Commissioner, until the seat was dissolved by the state. Currently, I work as a facility consultant for The Durkin Company.  My professional work experience, along with my political background, instilled in me the importance of listening to people, whether they be customers or constituents, and to respond promptly and respectfully to their needs. 

I am deeply committed to ensuring our children are given every opportunity to succeed. As the proud father of two children — Clare, 17, and Eddie, 16 — I understand the importance of youth programs like sports leagues and after-school activities as an effective way to help keep young people safe and focused, and help them build self-confidence. As Cambridge City Councilor, I will work tirelessly to establish and promote the development of youth programs throughout the city. 

Simply put, I’m the City Council candidate who has it ALL:

Accountability to the residents of Cambridge and a willingness to go the extra mile to ensure their concerns are not just listened to, but are heard and addressed. 

Leadership that will stand up for the issues that serve the people in our community, not political interests or strategies.

Loyalty and dedication to the City Council’s responsibilities to the people of Cambridge. This position will not be a political spring board to help me achieve bigger, better goals. It is my goal. The chance to represent the people of Cambridge and help make their quality of life better is what I consider to be the best opportunity.

I am always just a phone call away to answer your questions and concerns, or to lend a hand in any way. You can reach me on my cell phone at (617) 406-8574, or at Sullivan headquarters, 2329 Mass Ave., (617) 354-0135. 

We need city councilors who understand the issues that matter to the citizens they represent; who will be a voice for the people of our community to the City Council; and who are dedicated to finding the best solutions for our city.

I respectfully ask for your #1 vote for City Councilor on Tuesday, November 3.

Thank you,

Eddie Sullivan

Vote Sullivan for #1 on Tuesday, November 3
