Buckley, a Democrat, previously served as general counsel for the sheriff’s office, filling the role for four years.
She has a law degree from Suffolk University Law School and a Bachelor of Science degree from Suffolk University.
She previously worked at Massachusetts Bay Community College and Massasoit Community College teaching business and criminal law.
