Meet
Linda Champion
Attorney. Educator. Prosecutor.
Community Leader.
A lifetime of fighting for justice.
A future focused on making Suffolk County safer for everyone.
I know what it feels like to struggle.
I know what it feels like to be ignored.
I know what it feels like to overcome obstacles that seem impossible.
Those experiences shaped the lawyer—and the person—I became.
Linda's Story
Growing Up
Daughter of a South Korean immigrant mother and an African American father and Vietnam War veteran.
Teenage Years
Moved to Boston at 17, homeless and on my own. Worked multiple jobs while finishing school.
Education
Graduated from Suffolk University and Suffolk Law School. Later, I became a law professor for 13 years.
Public Service
Assistant District Attorney, Assistant General Counsel, Advocate, Educator, Leader in my community.
Today
Running to protect victims, support law enforcement, improve accountability, and restore confidence in our justice system.
Why I Fight
Every day in our communities, families suffer from crime, victims wait for justice, and too many people feel unheard by the system that is supposed to protect them.
I've dedicated my life to changing that. I will fight for every victim, every family, and every neighborhood—because everyone in Suffolk County deserves a fair shot.
