Working for a Newton we can all afford
Hi, I’m Cyrus!
I’m a lifelong Auburndale resident with a love for Newton and designing solutions.
I’m running for Newton City Council to make our city more affordable, connected, and welcoming for everyone. From protecting the homes and small businesses that anchor our neighborhoods to investing in public transportation, schools, and sustainability, I’m focused on smart, community-centered solutions. I believe Newton can grow without losing what makes it special—and I’ll work every day to ensure our city works for families, seniors, and small businesses alike. I’d be honored to earn your vote.
Making Newton More Affordable
Cyrus will fight to limit the teardown of homes that families rely on, preserving starter homes and supporting the development of new “missing-middle” housing that young families can afford and longtime residents can downsize into without leaving the community.
Protecting Small Businesses
Cyrus will champion a new Small Business Preservation Plan to ensure the businesses we all love can afford to stay in our communities through a collaborative program that encourages developers to create affordable retail spaces, creating a city-run small business incubator, and the development of an available property database to help businesses move straight into new spaces.
Investing in Our Community
Cyrus will rebalance the city’s long-term revenue by encouraging thoughtful commercial development to reduce overreliance on homeowners to fund schools, parks, and transportation. He’ll also support a free composting pilot and gender-inclusive bathrooms in municipal buildings.
Reducing Traffic Through
Public Transportation
Cyrus will work in partnership with MassDOT and the MBTA to make common-sense accessibility and affordability investments in our transportation services to better connect Newton to the regional economy, reduce traffic, and attract business.
