Massachusetts's 7th congressional district is a congressional district located in eastern Massachusetts, including roughly three-fourths of the city of Boston and a few of its northern and southern suburbs. The seat is currently held by Democrat Ayanna Pressley.
According to The Boston Globe and the latest census data, about 33 percent of the population of the district were born outside of the United States, with about 34 percent of the population white, 26 percent African American, and 21 percent Latino.[3]
In 2019, Ayanna Pressley became the first female and person of color to represent the district as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in Congress.[4]
