I’m Sharon Durkan, proud City Councilor for Boston’s District 8. Representing the vibrant neighborhoods of Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Mission Hill, the Fenway, Kenmore, and the West End is both an honor and a responsibility I hold close to my heart. Whether it’s advocating for affordable housing, ensuring our streets and sidewalks are safe and accessible, or celebrating the unique character of our neighborhoods, my work is all about building our communities to be a place where everyone can thrive. I hope this site serves as a resource to stay connected, learn about the work we’re doing together, and find ways to get involved in our community!

Welcome to my official website!
