First elected to the council in the 2005 election, Craig Kelley is serving his 6th term. He has lived in Cambridge since 1993.
Craig Kelley served in the marines from 1984-1989, and was a contractor for US Army Reserves for nearly 20 years as an environmental compliance specialist.
This year, he both refused any money he considered to be from a special interest and turned down questionnaires from groups that could not or would not disclose their own sources of funding - see his post.
We want to make short term rentals in Cambridge safe, legal, and fair. But it's a huge issue! ... We wanted to make sure we incorporated as many as opinions as possible.
It’s illegal to smoke marijuana in public. We are struggling to figure out what that means... It’s not something most of us want to criminalize.
We don't want to be holding on to 1987 and thinking, "if only we could turn the clock back."
