Former state Rep. Evandro Carvalho has jumped into the crowded field of candidates hoping to succeed City Councillor Andrea Campbell in District 4. The Fuller Street resident, who represented the Fifth Suffolk district in the Legislature from 2014 to 2019, is the only former elected official currently seeking the district seat, which Campbell will vacate after her run for mayor.
Carvalho, 39, is a former prosecutor who ran for Suffolk County District Attorney in 2019. More recently, he has worked as the executive director of the city of Boston’s Human Rights Commission an appointment made by former Mayor Martin Walsh. Before leaving the Legislature to seek the DA’s job, Carvalho led on criminal justice reform legislation and sought to add frequency to the Fairmount Line two issues that he says remain critical to voters in District 4.
