Colleen M. Garry (born July 21, 1962, in Lowell, Massachusetts[1]) is an American politician who represents the 36th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Garry was born on July 21, 1962, in Lowell Massachusetts. She graduated from the University of Lowell and Suffolk University Law School.

Career

[edit]

She was an aide to State Representative John Cox, who represented Dracut and part of Lowell. In 1994 she was elected to represent a new district consisting of Dracut, Tyngsborough, and Dunstable. Dunstable has since been transferred to a neighboring district so the current district consists only of Dracut and Tyngsborough. She is a conservative member of the House Democratic Caucus.

In 2015, Representative Garry came under fire for comments criticizing an act of civil disobedience[3] which obstructed a major Massachusetts highway. Representative Garry accused protestors affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement of being "terrorists" and claimed that "structural racism is a fraud."[4]
