Dan Hunt: His first chairmanship
State Rep. Dan Hunt will lead a new House committee charged with scrutinizing the allocation of federal stimulus funds and census data, an appointment that marks the Dorchester Democrat’s highest-profile legislative role to date.
It’s the first committee chairmanship for Hunt, who was elected in 2014 to replace Mayor Walsh as the representative in the 13th Suffolk district, which includes Neponset, Cedar Grove, Adams Corner, St. Mark’s Area, Clam Point, parts of Fields Corner, and one precinct in Quincy.
The selection, announced last Friday by Speaker Ron Mariano, makes Hunt a key player in how state lawmakers approach the distribution of federal relief dollars, vaccine supply, and, eventually, in the reorganization of political districts based on data from the 2020 US Census.
