Thomas Moakley

Thomas Moakley is currently running for reelection for a second term in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. In his first term, Thomas was proud to fight for policy and funding protections for trans individuals in Massachusetts in the face of federal attacks, as well and securing many local victories for his district on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket. He serves on the House Judiciary Committee, where he brings his experience as a former prosecutor to bear in trying to make the justice system accessible and fair to all. As an Assistant District Attorney, Thomas played a key role in the creation of Martha’s Vineyard’s first-ever recovery court, which serves individuals who end up in trouble only as a result of addiction. Rather than punishment, this court focuses on treatment and recovery to reduce recidivism. As a legislator, Thomas hopes to bring this new way of thinking to other areas of State Government, and his campaign would greatly appreciate your support.
