Sonia Chang-Díaz was born shortly after her father earned his Doctor of Science degree from MIT. Chang-Díaz grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, where her mother was a social worker and both her parents were active volunteers in the community.[4] Before seeking election Chang-Díaz was a teacher in the Lynn school system, a teacher in the Boston Public Schools system and an outreach director for the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center. She lives in Jamaica Plain.[5] She is married. On January 16, 2014, Chang-Diaz became one of the first elected officials in Massachusetts to endorse Don Berwick for Governor of Massachusetts. She has since served as Chair of Berwick's campaign.[6] Massachusetts Senate campaignsIn 2006, incumbent state senator Dianne Wilkerson failed to submit nomination papers with enough signatures for certification on the Democratic primary election, requiring her to run a write-in campaign for the party's nomination. Chang-Díaz entered the race as write-in as well, challenging Wilkerson in a minority-majority district covering a number of the inner-city neighborhoods of Boston. Wilkerson won the nomination and was re-elected. In 2008, Chang-Díaz challenged Wilkerson again for the party's nomination, with both candidates appearing on the ballot. In the September 2008 primary election, Chang-Diaz was offered free social media marketing and campaign promotions by Boston activist and radio host Amir "M.C. Spice" Shakir.[7] Chang-Díaz won the Democratic nomination.[8] Chang-Díaz won the general election on November 4, 2008 and was sworn into office in January 2009.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|title=STS-75 Press Kit|date=February 1996|publisher=NASA|url=http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/presskit/1996/STS-75_Press_Kit.txt}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.malegislature.gov/People/PeopleBio/33 |title=Member Profile - Sonia Chang-Diaz |accessdate=2010-11-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124235833/http://www.malegislature.gov/People/PeopleBio/33 |archivedate=2010-11-24 |df= }} 3. ^http://soniachangdiaz.com/content/sonia-chang-d-az 4. ^"Chang-Diaz Loaded for 2nd Suffolk" 5. ^"Race and Class Divide Heated State Senate Race" 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/01/state_sen_sonia_chang-daz_endo.html|title=State Sen.
