Meet Liz

In her first three terms as District 9 city councilor in Allston-Brighton, Liz Breadon has proven herself to be a strong progressive leader for Boston, with a vision for an inclusive, equitable, and resilient community. Which is why at the beginning of 2026, Liz was elected President of the Boston City Council.

An immigrant from Northern Ireland, Liz is an activist and community builder in Allston-Brighton, her home for 25 years, where she lives with her spouse, Mary McCarthy. In 2019, Liz became the first openly LGBTQ+ woman elected to the Boston City Council. As a physical therapist, Liz gained a deep understanding of what people of all backgrounds and abilities need to thrive.

Liz is a passionate advocate for the community, championing affordable housing, sustainable development, climate resiliency, reliable transportation, fair labor practices, safe streets, excellent schools, and good jobs. She led a robust COVID-19 response, bringing testing, vaccines, food, supplies, and rent assistance to the A-B community and conducting outreach to 2,400 isolated seniors.

 "As your city councilor, I am your advocate for the community, championing affordable housing, sustainable development, climate resiliency, reliable transportation, fair labor practices, safe streets, excellent schools, and good jobs. "
