BOSTON — Former Boston City Councilor and one-time Boston mayoral candidate Andrea Campbell has officially announced her candidacy for attorney general.
Campbell is trying to succeed Attorney General Maura Healey, who is running for governor.
Campbell joins previously announced attorney general candidate, Shannon Liss-Riordan, a labor attorney, who announced her campaign in late January.
Campbell will launch her campaign with a speech in Dorchester Wednesday morning.
In a statement posted to her campaign website, Campbell says “I’ve dedicated my life to fighting for greater equity and opportunity. And that’s what I’ll do as Attorney General. Because the Attorney General is not just the top law enforcement official of the commonwealth. The Attorney General must be an advocate for fundamental change and progress.”
