Ruthzee Louijeune, an attorney and advocate, this week launched her campaign for Boston City Council.

“Today, I am announcing my candidacy for Boston City Council At-Large,” said Ruthzee Louijeune. “I have the experience and conviction needed to lead this city forward. We must do more to care for our residents, our children, and our businesses, and we must do so with urgency. As an attorney and advocate, I’ve focused on issues and campaigns that center working people and Black and Latinx communities. I’m running for all of us, and this campaign will need all of us, together, to create an equitable Boston. We can achieve this vision: a city where all feel welcome, a city that is more prosperous, a city that is more just, a city where all are valued and treated with dignity.”
