In our third episode of our special series, Catalysts for Change: The Race for Boston, Jill talks with Boston City Councilor Andrea Campbell. A lifelong resident of Boston who represents District 4, Andrea has served on the council since being elected in 2015. Raised in Roxbury and the South End, Councilor Campbell graduated from Boston Public Schools and Boston Latin School, going on to attend Princeton University and UCLA Law School. Following law school, Councilor Campbell worked as a lawyer, serving as deputy legal counsel for Governor Deval Patrick as well as spending time in the private sector. In 2015, she successfully ran against a 32-year incumbent to represent District 4 on the City Council, and in 2018, she became the first Black woman to serve as the City Council President. She and her family live in Mattapan. We talk with Councilor Campbell about her journey, her experiences growing up in Boston, her work as a city councilor, her vision for an equitable Boston, and more.
