Brian Worrell is the Boston City Councilor for District 4, which includes Mattapan, Dorchester, and parts of Jamaica Plain and Roslindale.

A native Bostonian, Brian was raised by parents who migrated to the United States from Jamaica and Barbados in search of the American dream. Through his parents' hard work, determination, and belief in their community, Brian was given access to opportunity in Boston. He graduated from METCO and earned a bachelor’s degree at Northeastern University, majoring in accounting and entrepreneurship, and eventually becoming the proud owner of a Boston-based business.

As a small business owner who helped dozens of first-time homebuyers realize the goal of homeownership, Brian learned the ins and outs of city government. Over the last 16 years, he has coordinated several community events – such as cookouts, concerts, professional networking events, youth basketball tournaments, backpack drives, free haircuts at a local barbershop in Dorchester, and coordinated a COVID vaccine clinic – all to bring together our intergenerational, diverse district.

Since taking office, he’s continued this commitment to the community by proposing legislation that addresses the challenges facing the district and leveraging his knowledge and experiences with city government to deliver for his constituents. In his first term, he was able to secure historic funding for District 4, expand homeownership opportunities through ARPA funding and take action on the affordability crisis, launching a study to analyze how to build more accessible and affordable housing in District 4 and working with stakeholders to activate vacant lots and reimagine existing spaces, pass a home-rule petition to expand access to liquor licenses, and proposed initiatives like the Black and Brown economic empowerment agenda and the Cradle-to-Career to tackle long-standing inequities in access to opportunity.

He is looking forward to continuing to partner with the Mayor’s office, his colleagues, and state leaders to deliver tangible results for the people he represents.
