Say Amen, Somebody! @TommyVitolo has always been effective at building winning coalitions to deliver on his program which is progressive in the best Brookline traditions. Vote for him! Like @PaulJWarren that’s how I’m voting! #mapoli

PaulWarren @PaulJWarren

No surprises tonight. Tommy is collaborative, effective and he delivers for Brookline. I’m voting Vitolo. @TommyVitolo
