Adrian is a first-generation American and lifelong East Boston resident. Growing up in a family of activists, he frequently attended community meetings, events, and rallies, developing a profound sense of civic duty. Adrian was first introduced to government as a student at Boston Latin School when he interned at Boston City Hall, and his interest in public service was solidified during a college internship on Capitol Hill. After graduating from Tufts University, Adrian worked as the legislative aide and later chief of staff to the previous East Boston State Representative, Carlo Basile. While working for Rep. Basile, Adrian continued his studies at Tufts University part-time, obtaining a master’s degree in urban and environmental policy and planning. In 2015, Adrian succeeded Rep. Basile as East Boston’s State Representative, and is now serving his fourth term after being re-elected in 2020.
As a community, we need to leverage our relationship with Massport. When the time comes to hold Massport accountable, I will proudly fight for our community. However, controlling the negative impacts of the airport through dialogue and negotiation along with mitigation and elimination of sources of impacts is the most effective approach.
I believe that every single household in East Boston should be eligible for sound proof windows. As your State Representative, I will work with Massport and the FAA to expand the noise contour map of East Boston and ensure that whenever possible, airplanes use the water route and not fly over our community.
