Maura A. Hennigan (born ca.1952) is an American politician who currently serves as the Clerk Magistrate of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Superior Court Criminal/Business Division.[1] She is a previous member of the Boston City Council and was a mayoral candidate in 2005. From 1987 to 1993, she was known as Maura Hennigan Casey.

Early life

Hennigan graduated from Mount Saint Joseph Academy, an all-girls, Roman Catholic college preparatory school in Boston. She attended Salve Regina College, but did not graduate. She later earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.[2]

After college she became a registered dietician, interning at Boston Lying-In Hospital.[2] She was a teacher in the Boston Public School system for seven years until she lost her job as a result of cuts following the implementation of Proposition 2½.[4]

Political career

From 1982 through 2005, Hennigan was a member of the Boston City Council. She was first elected in November 1981, the final election when all seats were at-large. She was subsequently re-elected to nine two-year terms as the representative for District 6 (Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury). In November 2001, she successfully ran for an at-large position, and was re-elected in November 2003. She was the first woman to chair Boston's Ways and Means Committee.[4]

In 1986 she was a candidate for Massachusetts Auditor. She finished second in a three way Democratic primary to A. Joseph DeNucci.[3]

Hennigan unsuccessfully ran for Mayor of Boston in November 2005. She was defeated by incumbent Thomas Menino, who garnered 67% of the vote.[4]

In 2006, Hennigan was elected Clerk of the Criminal/Business Court of Suffolk County, after defeating Assistant Clerk of Court Robert Dello-Russo. She is the ninth elected official to hold this position and the first female.[4]

Personal life

As of 2007, Hennigan hosts a weekly television show on Boston Neighborhood Network.[4] She is the daughter of former register of probate, State Senator, State Representative, and Boston School Committee member James W. Hennigan Jr. She has two siblings: a brother, James W. Hennigan III, and a sister Helen. Her grandfather James W. Hennigan Sr. was a State Senator and the namesake of the James W. Hennigan School in Jamaica Plain. She is the grandneice of William O. S. Hennigan, a member of the Boston Common Council in 1900.[5]
