The state Legislature’s Boston Delegation last week elected Representative Evandro Carvalho (D – Dorchester) as its Chairman for the upcoming legislative session. He succeeds Representative Nick Collins (D – South Boston) who was elected as chairman of the Boston Delegation in 2013. Rep. Collins was appointed as vice chairman of the Committee on Personnel and Administration earlier this year.

“It was an honor to serve as chairman of the Boston delegation,” said Collins. “Over the last few years, my colleagues and I have worked together on many budgetary and legislative issues that impacted citizens throughout the City of Boston and across legislative districts. I am grateful for the support of my colleagues who elected me Chairman last session and I look forward to working with Rep. Carvalho and his staff as he carries the torch through the next session.”

“Thank you to the members of the Boston Delegation for their support. I am excited to take on this new responsibility,” said Carvalho. “I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in the Boston Delegation to tackle the important issues facing the City of Boston.”

The Boston Delegation is composed of the 21 State Representatives and Senators whose districts include the city of Boston. The Boston Delegation holds informational briefings for members, as well as organizing members on behalf of policies and funding that supports the City of Boston.
