Julia Mejia has lived in Boston for several decades. Those decades of living in Boston has taught her about all of Boston’s neighborhoods, not just Dorchester, where she currently resides.

Since joining the City Council in 2020, I’ve always centered the voices of those I serve. I live to serve and serve to live. I’m unapologetic about the way I advocate for you because we know the urgency of the issues.

Eight candidates for the Boston City Council’s four at-large seats explained their positions on a range of policies in responses to a questionnaire prepared by The Dorchester Reporter in partnership with the Boston Municipal Research Bureau last week.

Fue una noche memorable, llena de celebración. Los bostonianos salieron a darle su respaldo a Julia Mejía, la primera mujer concejal latina de origen dominicano, que ha hecho historia en Boston. Fuimos testigos de una vibrante celebración.
