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. Increase social-emotional services for young people inside and outside of school.
2. Fund ventilation upgrades at colleges like Roxbury Community College and K-12 buildings to protect our kids from current or future airborne viruses.
3. Champion the legislative approval of a charter change to allow for a voting and fully stipended youth seat on the Boston School Committee.
4. Fund safe spaces such as community centers, drop-in centers, and other initiatives, for young people in every community in the Commonwealth, starting with those most often overlooked and underinvested in.
5. Fight to pass comprehensive sex and health education to arm our youth with knowledge to lead healthy lives.
6. Work hand in hand with young people by bringing them into the legislative process, and act on their priorities.
