Representative Liz Miranda is the State Representative of the 5th Suffolk and is running for State Senate in the 2nd Suffolk. She is a community organizer, former youth worker, and entrepreneur who ran for office in 2018 to center those who have struggled when the government left us out of the conversation. Propelled to act after gun violence took the life of her brother, Representative Miranda has been a tireless fighter for the constituents of the 5th Suffolk, and families across the Commonwealth.
As the daughter of immigrants who’s experienced the tragedy of family separation, with her father and brother being deported in 1998, Rep. Liz Miranda has led the fight to pass the Safe Communities Act in Massachusetts to end the Commonwealth’s collaboration and involvement with ICE. She has fought to end family separation and ensure Massachusetts leads the way on immigrant rights.
Liz’s grandfather, in the 1930’s after taking a journey to Boston on a boat for 4 months, worked on a cranberry bog in Scituate. She never met him, but from an early age, understood the immigrant experience as one of hard work, sacrifice, and hope in pursuit of a dream deferred.
