I'm a State Representative representing Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Cambridgeport, Kendall Sq/MIT, and the West End. I was elected to the Massachusetts State Legislature in 2013 and have been in the State House since then advocating for the people of the 8th Suffolk District. I was born and raised in North Attleboro, where I was educated in public schools and worked as a cashier at the town pharmacy all through high school. I was a union factory worker while attending University of Connecticut for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in political science and history, and graduated with honors. I put myself through George Washington School of Law, where I graduated with high honors, while working at a union cardboard box factory.
From securing more funding for early childhood education to advancing gun-safety laws, Jay Livingstone is leading the fight in the State House on the issues we care about most. Jay was the lead sponsor in the House on the enacted Equal Pay Bill, which will ensure equal pay for equal work. He is also sponsoring the Healthy Kids legislation, which takes a comprehensive approach to ensure that our children are housed, well fed, healthy and ready to succeed in school.
