2015
Lacet's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]
Education
- Excerpt: "I will fight for the many resources and support that our schools are in dire need of to provide our children with an excellent education."
- Excerpt: "I will fight to restore school buses for all Boston Public middle schools and middle school grades. Boston has the resources to supply school buses for our Boston Public middle schools. It is simply a matter of priorities in the budget. Our Boston Public middle school children’s safety is a priority that the city budget can and will manage with the appropriate advocate. There is no legitimate reason that the school buses were cancelled for any of our Boston Public middle school children."
Residency
- Excerpt: "As a Boston City Councillor, I will fight to implement a four to five year residency requirement in order to qualify to apply and obtain City of Boston employment opportunities. For too long, non-residents from the suburbs such as Quincy, Braintree, Norwood, even residents from New Hampshire and Maine, move into the city for one year and obtain Boston City jobs that lifetime Boston residents should have priority to."
Contracts for Boston-based companies
- Excerpt: "I want to implement a law and practice that gives Boston-based companies the right and priority to City of Boston government contracts. There is no reason that our City of Boston buildings, motor vehicles, to name a few, are being repaired by out of town companies when we have licensed and bonded professional Boston-based companies that can professionally fulfill such contracts for the same and/or better price."
