Meet Judith.
Judith Nelson is a proud Brockton resident, entrepreneur, and public servant with a bold vision for progress, equity, and inclusive growth in our city. She brings decades of experience, cultural perspective, and an unwavering commitment to public service and community wellness.
Born and raised in Haiti, Judith immigrated to the United States at 19, dreaming of making a difference.
She holds degrees in Public Health and Public Administration, which laid the foundation for a career dedicated to improving lives through service, education, and leadership.
With over 10 years of experience in healthcare, Judith is the founder and CEO of a thriving homecare agency that provides compassionate, high-quality care to senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. Her agency is not just a business — it's a mission rooted in dignity, compassion, and equity for vulnerable populations.
Judith is also a real estate investor, committed to responsible development that enhances housing quality, revitalizes neighborhoods, and creates sustainable opportunities for Brockton residents. She understands the power of home ownership and stable housing in building generational wealth and strengthening communities.
Additionally, Judith Nelson is the author of three books and a speaker. She is passionate about shaping her community and being a change maker.
As a Certified Financial Literacy Educator and Human Rights Consultant, Judith works closely with families, nonprofits, and community organizations to promote financial empowerment, human dignity, and social justice. She is also a dedicated Public Health Educator, leading health and wellness campaigns across Brockton focusing on disease prevention, nutrition, mental health, and overall well-being.
Her public service began early—volunteering in the Massachusetts court system in 2010, followed by more than a year of service in a hospital setting, during which she gained direct insight into the social and health needs of underserved populations. Judith remains active in the nonprofit sector, serving as a youth mentor and public health consultant to organizations advancing community health, education, and equity.

Upgrading city infrastructure, including safer roads, better sidewalks, and cleaner neighborhoods

Empowering families through economic development, workforce training, and access to financial tools
