It has been the honor of my life to serve the people of Worcester & West Boylston as State Representative of the 14th Worcester District for nearly 20 years.

​

My work is guided by a simple principle: I believe that government should work for the people — especially families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. 

​

I currently serve as Fourth Division Chair and have previously chaired key joint committees, including Elder Affairs and Municipalities and Regional Government. In these roles, I have led major legislative efforts focused on long-term care reform, municipal flexibility, consumer protections, and public safety. 

​

Informed by my 25 years of service as a licensed social for the Department of Social Services (now Department of Children & Families) my legislative agenda is centered on improving outcomes for children and the disability community.

​

As a member of the recovery community, I have also made it a priority to assist individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), and help them navigate the behavioral health landscape. 

Together, these experiences continue to shape my approach to leadership that is grounded in compassion, accountability, and a deep understanding of how public policy can change lives for the better.

​

Throughout my years in the legislature, I have sponsored and supported legislation to expand access to affordable health care, protect workers, and improve public education.

I remain committed to pragmatic, community-centered governance that delivers results for residents of Worcester County and the Commonwealth at large. 

​

I have lived in West Boylston for over twenty years with my wife Marybeth Murphy O’Day, and am the proud father of four sons.
