Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler

Headshot of Councilor Sobrinho-Wheeler

Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler is serving his second term on the Cambridge City Council. Before starting on the Council, he worked with environmental programs at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge. He served his first term on the City Council in 2020-2021 and worked to create more affordable housing, safer streets, more open space, stronger tenant protections, and more transparent and responsive local government.

Since the end of his previous term on the Council, he has been the New England Progressive Governance Director for the Working Families Party, working with state & local elected officials to pass legislation on topics like affordable housing and childcare — issues that are important to him coming from a family headed by a single mom that depended on both.

Jivan lives in a triple-decker in Cambridgeport with his partner and their cat.
