Representative Lindsay Sabadosa represents the 1st Hampshire District, serving the City of Northampton and the towns of Chesterfield, Cummington, Goshen, Hatfield, Plainfield, Westhampton, Williamsburg, and Worthington. She holds an AB from Wellesley College, an MSc from the University of Edinburgh, and a Doctorate in Law and Policy from Northeastern University.
Since her election in 2018, Rep. Sabadosa has made reproductive health and reproductive justice a significant focus of her legislative work, with particular attention to the experiences and needs too often overlooked. She has championed support for people experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion, including legislation to expand access to doula care and other physical, emotional, and informational support as well as establishing pregnancy loss as a qualifying event for sick leave in the Commonwealth. She has also led efforts to establish an Endometriosis Task Force to address gaps in awareness, diagnosis, treatment, research, and care for those living with endometriosis.
Her work reflects a commitment to ensuring that reproductive health care encompasses the full range of people’s reproductive lives and that those navigating these deeply personal experiences are met with dignity, autonomy, compassion, and meaningful access to care. Rep. Sabadosa lives in Northampton with her daughter, Kala.
