There are 23 candidates for city council and 12 for school committee. Rank candidates in order of preference. Do not use X marks.

In an oversight, The Crimson omitted the profile on one candidate for the council from yesterday's supplement.

Alvin Thompson, running with the endorsement of the Cambridge Civic Association, has endorsed continued rent controls, and called for the beefing up of the Rent Board staff to handle cases more quickly.

A challenger in the race, Thompson announced his support for increased funding for home care for the elderly sick and for increased police protection.

"My intention is to devise an economic development program to encourage existing businesses to remain and to induce new business to relocate in Cambridge," Thomson says, adding that he supports "short term economic incentives to new businesses."

Thompson also supports "generating private and federal funds to develop job training programs" for young adults who have "dropped out of school and turned off from society."

An assistant to the Cambridge City Manager for Community Relations, Thompson is also president of the Cambridge Chapter of the NAACP. He graduated from Roxbury Community College, and has worked in the Harvard Extension Program.
