Michael LoPresti Jr.
Michael LoPresti Jr. was an American politician who served as a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1973 to 1993.
LoPresti was born on April 30, 1947, in Boston.[1] His father, Michael LoPresti Sr., was a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1947 to 1953 and again from 1958 to 1961.[2] LoPresti earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard College and a law degree from the Boston University School of Law.[3]
LoPresti began his political career in 1973 by running in the special election caused by the resignation of Second Suffolk District senator Mario Umana. The then 26-year-old law student upset two state representatives with the support of members of Umana's and Kevin White's organizations as well as Alfred Vellucci and Frederick C. Langone.[4] Following redistricting, LoPresti represented the Suffolk and Middlesex District from 1975 to 1993. During his tenure in the Senate, Lopresti served as chairman of the legislature's Judiciary Committee.[3]
LoPresti died on December 16, 2004, at his home in East Boston.[3]
