Barber brought the voices of immigrants and people too often ignored directly into the State House,” said Dálida Rocha, former Co-Chair of the Driving Families Forward Coalition. “That work was not easy and it wasn't politically safe. We need leaders who will do more than just talk about change – we need leaders who know how to write it into law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/b0cc6195-f603-42ea-9051-03c56dc6d232/IMG_3230.png Home - A Progressive with a Plan Representative Barber understands what her district needs: from bold climate action to standing up for the rights of immigrants to ensuring education equity.

She led the campaign to pass the Work and Family Mobility Act — a law that allows all people to apply for a driver’s license, regardless of immigration status. At a time when the federal administration's deportation agenda is ravaging our communities, Christine understands the importance of an anti-racist lens in policymaking and is taking steps to protect immigrants, such as filing the Dignity Not Deportations Act to help guard against the abuse of power by federal ICE agents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1594926395012-K0KC8INWZT7U2QS4E2ZT/img-0395_orig.jpg Christine's Priorities - Health Care Access & Affordability Christine was a health care policy analyst before she became a State Representative. She has built upon her expertise to fix our broken health care system by taking on issues like reducing prescription drug costs and ensuring equal access to care. When Governor Baker tried to roll back Medicaid Expansion, Christine organized her colleagues to defeat the effort. Most recently, Christine championed the effort to reduce copays for prescription medications for people with chronic conditions and provide direct relief to consumers — signed into law by Governor Healey in January 2025. There is no stronger advocate for meaningful health care equity and expansion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595114930189-9BBBH9YQ9XOIVNYHUMCM/c-barber071220-426.jpg Christine's Priorities - Climate Justice As Chair of the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Christine is a vocal advocate for climate resilience and environmental justice. By advancing the nearly $3 billion Environmental Bond bill from the Committee, she is putting resiliency, food security, environmental protection, and public health at the forefront for Massachusetts. In her policymaking, she accounts for the intersection of issues like housing and transportation with our warming planet. Christine has secured funds to clean up parkland along the Mystic River and help to bring the Green Line Extension, the first expansion of the T in a generation, to Somerville and Medford. She also authored legislation to improve air quality in environmental justice communities, electrify public transportation, create fare free buses, move away from fossil fuels in new developments, and transition to zero-emission vehicles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595115022277-UIUVC2H19NQ4WJ1MCNWZ/c-barber071220-112.jpg Christine's Priorities - Affordable Housing is a Human Right As a renter herself, Christine understands firsthand the challenges of affordability of housing. She has consistently secured increased funding for housing subsidies, affordable housing, and programs for people who are homeless in Medford & Somerville. Christine wrote a law to incentivize building affordable and multifamily housing that recently passed, as well as a bill to improve availability of accessible housing for seniors and people with disabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1594926138104-IGDHEOCVJIRKQEGRE18L/c-barber071220-152.jpg Christine's Priorities - Fighting For Our Families Christine is a fierce advocate for disability and LGBTQ+ rights. She has worked closely with disability advocates for years to center lived experience in policymaking and ensure public systems are inclusive and accessible, including legislation she passed to allow Accessory Dwelling Units in all communities with protections for people with disabilities. Access to gender-affirming care for transgender people is deeply important to Christine; she files legislation to address gaps in the health care and insurance system for transgender residents. Her priority is to show compassion toward, take care of, and protect our most vulnerable populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1606761363430-DKSWQFW9USGA0BT57LLV/IMG_2532.jpeg Christine's Priorities - Criminal Justice Reform From reducing mass incarceration to supporting those who are currently incarcerated, criminal just reform is a top priority. Christine supports decareration through diversion programs, bail and parole reform, and changes to discriminatory sentencing laws. As that work continues, Christine is also pushing for stronger supports for those who are currently incarcerated, through work as a member of the Commission on Structural Racism in Corrections and Co-Chair of the Task Force on Justice-Involved Women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595089911893-VEY2TI8OGRHQW7FKTX2J/cb_hearing.jpg Christine's Priorities - Making Corporations Pay their Fair Share To fund critical services like education, public transportation, and other public services, Massachusetts must raise new forms of revenue. Corporations and the wealthy should pay their fair share in taxes. Christine has been a tireless advocate for raising progressive revenue, and has championed legislation to close corporate loopholes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/36a70cce-a666-4e2f-ad1f-98f97453089a/8894557302420752656.png Christine's Priorities - Reproductive Health and Women’s Empowerment Christine Co-Chairs the Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators, driving the Caucus’s work to close racial and gender gaps in health care, expand economic opportunities for women, and empower women in government. Christine has long been a leading advocate for reproductive freedom and access to comprehensive reproductive health care. She has advanced and secured policies that expand care, including a law allowing pharmacists to prescribe contraception. She continues to protect patients and providers through her bill to clarifies that decisions about abortion care later in pregnancy remain between patients and their doctors. https://www.christinebarber.org/commit-to-vote daily 0.75 2020-08-04 https://www.christinebarber.org/map daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://www.christinebarber.org/votingsquad daily 0.75 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595263162381-8SXQJQ041D7CUNGOA2I2/Copy%2Bof%2BCopy%2Bof%2B043B73.jpg Voting Squad - Step One Form your voting squad! https://www.christinebarber.org/yardsigns daily 0.75 2020-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595453505206-OMIOAKJBXCDLYHESQTYR/Yard+Sign.png Yard Signs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1595456233680-2L1ROJGQMIPZYE62LOLD/down.png Yard Signs https://www.christinebarber.org/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/1594755947438-8LHZLY562LDZBD25HEFI/c-barber071220-456.jpg Contact https://www.christinebarber.org/markey22 daily 0.75 2022-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/7fb79814-855b-456a-bc7b-07c58b3cecd2/CB_EdMarkey_Faceboook+Cover.jpg Markey Join us on zoom Contribute https://www.christinebarber.org/leaders daily 0.75 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f078eafd76c69100f4e3c2c/ac6ff89e-d9ad-4294-864c-3150c13eea2f/IMG_0371-preview.jpg Prog Leaders Support - Taking on the Big Fights https://www.christinebarber.org/get-started daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://www.christinebarber.org/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-sldna monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.christinebarber.org/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-tctch monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.christinebarber.org/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-hlzba monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
