9th Suffolk District

John Moran is the presumptive new state representative for the 9th Suffolk district based in the South End. He won the Democratic primary on May 2, and no other candidate is on the ballot for the general election May 30.

The South End is in many ways a study in contrasts. A neighborhood where subsidized housing developments abut luxury condo buildings, a neighborhood where Black and Latino Bostonians have deep roots, but where few have pockets deep enough to afford rents.
