My name is Ben Weber. I have lived with my family in Jamaica Plain since 2009. My wife and I have raised two kids here and have gone from renting an apartment on Cranston Street to owning a house on Spring Park Avenue.

I am attorney with 18 years of experience fighting for worker's rights. I began my career providing free legal services for migrant farmworkers in the Mississippi Delta and have spent the last 10 years representing workers with unpaid wages and civil rights claims in class actions all over the country.

I recently joined the JP Neighborhood Council and currently serve on the Housing and Development Committee. I am running for a spot on the council to make a contribution to this great neighborhood and in the hopes that I can leave it a little better than I found it for my kids.
