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 STATE SENATOR I WILL:
1. Fight to establish rent stabilization to preserve and expand affordable housing for Boston’s families, renters, and seniors, and ensure our communities experience investment and development without displacement. Fund homeownership programs to build intergenerational wealth and equity, particularly in Black and Brown communities.
2. End discriminatory zoning that aims to prevent the construction of affordable and multi-family housing across the Commonwealth.
3. Fight to ensure Massachusetts renters have access to common sense tenant protections such as the right of first refusal and the right to counsel.
4. Pass legislation to provide our elders with the tools to age in the communities they have invested so much in.
