Marblehead immigration attorney Diann Baylis is running for Governor’s Council in Massachusetts’ 6th District, and she needs your support!

The Governor’s Council is an elected body in Massachusetts that provides advice and consent on the Governor’s judicial appointments, pardons and commutations. The Council also plays a role in the certification of statewide election results.

Diann is running because we need judges with knowledge, integrity and compassion at every level of our judiciary, and she wants to be a voice for that on the Governor’s Council. She also wants to protect our democracy by making sure that every vote is counted.

Diann represents children in immigration proceedings. While most immigration proceedings take place in federal immigration courts, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, a path to citizenship for unaccompanied minors, is determined at the state level through the probate courts. These are critical decisions impacting the lives of immigrant children, and Diann wants to ensure that people appointed to judgeships understand immigration law, and will stand up for the constitutional rights, safety and best interests of immigrants and immigrant children.

The 6th district includes Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Lynnfield, Malden, Marblehead, Medford, Melrose, Nahant, Reading, Revere, Saugus, Somerville, Stoneham, Swampscott, Wakefield, Winchester and Winthrop. It also includes some neighborhoods in Boston and most of Cambridge.

Diann has a long history of public service, including volunteering for the Lawyer of the Day program at Essex Probate Court. Earlier in her career she served as deputy campaign coordinator for the Massachusetts Democratic Party, and she is currently an active member of the Marblehead Democratic Town Committee.

Many of us want to do something to help immigrant children. Supporting Diann's campaign is a great way to make a difference. Please support Diann's Campaign as generously as you can today!
