Seth Moulton

Inspired by his college mentor to find a personal path to service, Seth joined the U.S. Marine Corps just days after graduating in 2001. As an infantry platoon leader, he was a member of the first company of Marines to enter Baghdad in 2003. Despite his own vocal disagreements with the war, Seth served four tours of duty, driven by a deep sense of responsibility to his fellow Marines and a conviction that he could not let someone else go in his place.

Seth carried this ethos of servant leadership into politics, launching a successful 2014 campaign that unseated a nine-term incumbent and secured a key Democratic stronghold. Believing that systemic change requires a coalition of voices, he founded Serve America, an organization dedicated to recruiting and training veterans and public servants to run for office. This effort has successfully helped flip over 24 seats from red to blue, infusing Congress with a new generation of leaders who prioritize country over politics.

In Congress, Seth has established a record of bipartisan achievement and transparency. He led the creation of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, championed major healthcare expansions for veterans and ALS families, and secured over $1 billion in federal investment for his district. His work on infrastructure—including the ambitious New England Crossrail project—and his commitment to open governance have earned him four Democracy Awards from the Congressional Management Foundation, a distinction no other member has achieved.
