Heidi Schmidt was appointed to the AACDCC in June 2024. She is a life long Democrat and served as College President of the Northeastern University College Democrats, Legislative Director for the College Democrats of Massachusetts. Additionally, she interned for the MA State House, for then Congressman Bernie Sanders, the late Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, and for the Kerry for President campaign.

She is thrilled to be serving District 31 and looks forward to turning her dark red district, a little more blue one neighbor at a time.
