WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, The Collective PAC — the nation’s largest political action committee dedicated to increasing Black political engagement, representation, and power across all levels of government — congratulates Lydia Edwards on her Massachusetts State Senate victory.

Massachusetts State Senator-Elect Lydia Edwards has dedicated her career to advocating and being a voice for the underrepresented in her community. Now newly elected, she can continue to promote equity and inclusiveness across Boston’s commonwealth by expanding worker’s rights, stimulating economic growth and focusing on the housing crisis.
