Isabella’s lifelong connection to Charlestown and experience in government will help residents stay connected to City resources and services. Abdullah’s knowledge of City Hall and strong commitment to serving Roxbury will further our efforts to connect constituents with the support they need. I’m thrilled to welcome all three to these important roles and look forward to the relationships they will build with residents across their neighborhoods.”

Marcus McNeill was born and raised in Boston and attended Fenway High School in Mission Hill. A recent graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., he earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Education Studies. McNeill previously served in the Biden administration in the U.S. Department of Education in the Office of Postsecondary Education.
