Celia Segel Running For State Representative To Brookline

BROOKLINE, MA – Celia Segel has announced she is running for State Representative in the 10th Suffolk Special Election, representing West Roxbury, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and Brookline, according to a news release.

“As representative, I will fight for policies that create more certainty for our neighbors so that an unexpected diagnosis, or lack of affordable housing and childcare are not factors that force people to move out of our neighborhoods and away from the people they love,” Segel said in the release.

Segel has been a resident of Jamaica Plain for 12 years, where she lives with her wife, five year old son, and three year old twins.

She has worked as an organizer at Health Care For All, before becoming Political Director at NARAL Pro Choice Massachusetts (now known as Reproductive Equity Now) and Director of Policy at the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review.

Most recently, she has worked at the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission, and was responsible for a state law providing oversight and transparency to prescription drug prices at Medicaid.

Segel’s campaign committee has already raised more than $33,000 for the special election race on Tuesday, May 2.
