Early life

Curtatone, born and raised in Somerville, graduated from Somerville High School in 1984. He later earned his B.A. from Boston College in 1990, his J.D. from the New England School of Law in 1994, and his MC/MPA from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2011. He served as an attorney in private practice before beginning his political career.
Political career

After serving as an Alderman for the city of Somerville for eight years, Curtatone was elected mayor in 2003. At 38, he was the second youngest mayor in Somerville history. He is serving his sixth term as mayor. During his tenure, Somerville has been recognized by The Boston Globe Magazine as the Best Run City in the Commonwealth.
Sanctuary city

In January of 2017, mayor Curtatone reaffirmed Somerville’s sanctuary city policy saying “will not waver” in the support for documented and undocumented immigrants. The city will not cooperate with President Donald Trump's executive order reducing grant funding to sanctuary cities and changing deportation standards.
Civil Case
In 2015, Curtatone was sued in a civil case, alleging that he violated the civil rights of a Somerville High School soccer player accused of rape.
