George Bonner

George was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital where his father, a career US Marine, was stationed. Raised in Haverhill, MA, George attended Haverhill Public Schools and he credits both his mother’s tenacity and his teachers’ dedication for sparking his passion for learning. After graduating from Haverhill High’s Classical Academy, he earned a degree in Government and International Politics from George Mason University, with a concentration in American Government.

Throughout his career, George has been deeply involved in politics. He worked on Terry McAuliffe’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign, studied abroad in London, where he worked for Emily Thornberry MP in the UK Parliament. George also balanced various jobs to support his education, including roles as a Resident Advisor, a barista, and several positions in the university’s art department.

After returning to Massachusetts, George remained involved in political and issue advocacy with MassPIRG and served as field director of Diana DiZoglio’s successful 2018 State Senate campaign. After his time working in the political arena, George sought a change and joined Ground Care Landscaping, where he spent a year working alongside men whose perspectives are seldom heard in politics.

In 2019, George began working in immigration law, joining Barker and Loscocco in Boston where he became the head paralegal. Over his five years at the firm, George gained a deep understanding of the U.S. immigration system and helped clients from all over the world achieve legal status.

Currently, George is pursuing his law degree at New England Law in Boston, with the goal of becoming an immigration attorney. He is passionate about the inclusion of immigrants in America’s future and believes that the country’s very identity lies in its diversity. He remains committed to public education and aims to one day give back to the Haverhill Public School system that played a pivotal role in shaping who he is today.
Outside of his professional pursuits, George enjoys Boston sports, film, and cycling through the city.
