Andrea Joy Campbell is an American lawyer and politician who is serving as the attorney general of Massachusetts. Campbell is a former member of the Boston City Council. On the city council, she represented District 4, which includes parts of Boston's Dorchester, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, and Roslindale neighborhoods. A member of the Democratic Party, she was first elected to the council in November 2015 and assumed office in January 2016. She served as president of the council from January 2018 until January 2020.[1] Campbell unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Boston in 2021, placing third in the nonpartisan primary election behind Annissa Essaibi George and Michelle Wu, the latter of whom would go on to win the general election.
In 2022, Campbell announced her candidacy in that year's election for attorney general of Massachusetts. Campbell was the first black woman to qualify for ballot access for statewide office in Massachusetts. Winning the Democratic Party's nomination with a sizable win in the Democratic primary, Campbell won the general election by a large margin. In January 2023, she was sworn in as attorney general, becoming the first black woman to hold the office and only the second black person to hold it, preceded only by Edward Brooke.
