David LeBoeuf is serving as the State Representative for the 17th Worcester District, which is inclusive of the City of Worcester and the Town of Leicester. His background — as a small business advisor, family advocate for survivors of domestic violence, and community leader successfully boosting access to healthcare and affordable housing — informs his ongoing fight for the causes that matter most to our communities.

David first ran for office in 2018 and was elected after a three-way primary and a general election, being one of only three individuals to flip a legislative seat from Republican to Democrat in Massachusetts that year. In addition to his professional work at the Initiative for the competitive Inner City (ICIC) David was the Board President of the NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center, Vice Chair of the African Community Education program, and a board member of the Latin American Health Alliance. He also worked briefly for a state economic development agency and in municipal government.

In the most recent legislative session Representative LeBoeuf passed comprehensive legislation eliminating the waiting period for new state hires to access health insurance. During his career in the House, he has advanced policy changes to improve educational resources for foster children; negotiated the re-opening of mental health beds; increased access to early education apprenticeships; facilitated the conversion of a closed college into a new high school, emergency family shelter, and Head Start; and modified high interest loans that were crippling small water systems. Drawing from his own experiences with addiction recovery, he has become a leading advocate for dismantling systemic barriers to treatment access and reforming the way individuals with substance use disorder are treated within the child welfare and legal systems. His legislative agenda is focused on removing barriers for returning citizens to access professional licenses, modernizing support for students in foster care, eliminating environmental hazards in housing, and advancing consumer focused insurance policies.

David lives in Worcester, MA, where he was born and raised and was the first of his family to complete college. David enjoys travelling, watching documentaries, attempting to be an amateur chef, exploring cities, listening to EDM music, and organizing events for his classmates.
