State Senator Lydia Edwards

‘A lifeline’: House approves protected status for Haitians, with Pressley leading the charge - The Boston Globe The Boston Democrat helped court Republican votes to the bipartisan legislation.

Last night, the Massachusetts Senate passed the Mass Ready Act, a $3.64 billion environmental bond bill that prioritizes climate resiliency and environmental protection. I’m proud to secure several fiscal and policy wins specifically for the Third Suffolk District. Swipe to learn more.

Welcoming Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performers Justin, Cristina, Angel, and Jorge to the State House!

This talented group isn’t just a team of elite stunt performers—they’re a family, and proud residents of East Boston. We’re honored to celebrate this incredible achievement with them.

Their journey is especially inspiring: from growing up in the Maverick Projects to sharing their passion for stunts and performance with their community, they’ve turned dedication into opportunity and impact.

Justin has taken on standout roles, including “Diego” in Cobra Kai, and captivated millions as Bad Bunny’s stunt double and one of the halftime show’s light-pole dancers. His wife, Jewelianna, also performed as a light-pole dancer and has appeared in major productions such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Cobra Kai, Beetlejuice, Superman, and more.

Thank you to this incredible family for representing East Boston on one of the world’s biggest stages!

(Look for Cristina, Angel and Jorge in the living room scene where Bad Bunny falls through the roof, and Justin and Jewelianna on the light poles!)

In this moment of political Tweets and taunts, we must remember to stick together and keep our eyes on the prize. We are stronger when we come together and stay focused.
