Science-based leadership…because our health can’t wait.
Dr. Natalia Linos is an epidemiologist, experienced public servant, and mom of three running for Massachusetts’ Fourth Congressional District.
Meet Natalia
Dr. Linos is the Executive Director of the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard and serves on the Poor People’s Campaign COVID-19 Health Justice Advisory Committee. Previously, she worked at the United Nations and New York City Department of Health tackling some of the most urgent issues of our time: from climate change, to health access, to systemic racism. She is a three-time Harvard graduate and lives in Brookline Village with her husband, Paul, and their three young children. She is running to ensure our government decision-making is grounded in science and equity.

Natalia’s Priorities
Healthy Communities
COVID-19 has shown us that healthy communities are essential for societies to thrive. The pandemic has also exposed the failures in our healthcare system. But COVID-19 is not the only health crisis facing our District. The opioid overdose crisis and the often silent mental health challenges faced by families must also be addressed.
Shared Prosperity
For too long the US has allowed poverty, inequality, and structural racism to go unchecked. The impact today is being tragically seen in a disproportionate number of lives lost due to COVID-19 in communities of color. We need to use the pandemic as an opportunity to re-design our economy so that it works for all.
Healthy Planet
From climate change to air pollution, biodiversity loss, and toxic chemicals, the threats to our environment are growing and can no longer be ignored. In order to leave a healthy planet for all our children, we need to focus on environmental justice today, investing in sustainable jobs and sustainable infrastructure.

“Put simply, our health—and I mean our physical, mental, economic, and planetary health—can’t wait any longer.”
