Ed Coppinger - Massachusetts State Representative

State Rep. Ed Coppinger and Leader Bank donated 90 wreaths to decorate the West Roxbury business district.

When West Roxbury’s Keith Barry, an IBEW Local 103 electrician, saw that no Christmas wreaths had been put up along Centre Street in West Roxbury this year, he decided to take action last week. Calling his longtime friend state Rep. Ed Coppinger to complain about the situation, Coppinger acknowledged that he had heard from others upset about the lack of decorations.

State Representatives Carlos Henriquez and Edward Coppinger co-sponsored legislation to raise the dropout age in Boston from 16 to 18.

The night was a throwback to the 1980s when there were Harry Truman Society Election Eve Rallies every year, a tradition that West Roxbury District Councilor Matt O’Malley and state Rep. Ed Coppinger, D-West Roxbury, have promised to start up again..

Ed Coppinger, D-West Roxbury, together with community members organized the family friendly event to save the Club, which was founded in 1945. A great crowd turned out to enjoy Irish music, dancing, and food all in support of saving the Club.

State Rep. Edward Coppinger and state Sen. Mike Rush’s offices are continually fighting for important programs for senior citizens in West Roxbury.

The Irish Social Club of Boston held a successful membership drive on Sunday night that saw at least 200 new members sign up. But that won’t be the last membership drive.

The Club’s Board of Directors agreed to allow at least two membership drives, with one last night, and a second one on July 17 from 6-8 p.m. And if last night’s long line was any indication, the July 17th drive will also net quite a bit of new members.
