Patrick Roath

We deserve a leader who’s ready to meet this moment, for our country and our communities. I’m Patrick Roath and I’m running for Congress to fight for what matters.

My statement:

Polls are open! Get out there and vote!

It’s Primary Day! If you’re a registered Democrat or unenrolled in MA-08, get out there and cast your ballot between 7 am and 8 pm. Details here: voteinma.com Join our coalition — let’s win this thing!

Coverage in the NYT today — we are the “race to watch” in MA tomorrow. Let’s run through the tape and win this thing. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/u...

The final weekend. Let’s go win this thing.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ GOTV IS HERE 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Across the district we're knocking doors from 11am-4pm, and then making calls in the afternoon & evening. Please, sign up now and help us win this race: Knock doors: luma.com/patrickroath... Make calls: luma.com/patrickroath...

Congressman Lynch skipped our 5th and final candidate forum last night. Disappointing but not surprising. We need to do better. Thank you to the Dedham & Westwood Dems, and to Dedham Town Moderator Liz O’Donnell for hosting a fantastic forum with great questions!

🎉🎉 Join me, David Hogg, and other Boston leaders for a get-out-the-vote rally & canvass launch 🎉🎉 📍 Adams Park, Roslindale 🗓️ August 30 | ⏰ 1 PM We've got the momentum, but we need all hands on deck to win this race. Please sign up here: luma.com/2nm5dt1k

HINGHAM great seeing you today! Loved seeing so many friends at the amazing long running Stand Up, Speak Out protest!

Proof 😎

"Fighting for housing that's affordable, for health care that's affordable is fixing our politics, getting corporate money out of it and putting term limits on members of Congress." www.wcvb.com/article/mass...

🔥I usually stay out of primaries, but @patrickroath.bsky.social (Patrick Roath) attn: MA-08, is the person that will fight for YOU and affordable healthcare. Stephen Lynch voted AGAINST the ACA over a decade ago. He's got the Boston Globe's endorsement, & mine!💙 www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/23/o...

Let's GO for GOTV! Canvass for @patrickroath.bsky.social and @persisyu.bsky.social this weekend! mailchi.mp/jpprogressiv... And check Boston.gov for early voting dates and times this week!

Tonight we are holding our final all-volunteer call to get ready for the big GOTV push. Come join us! Tons of ways to get involved, from knocking on doors to remote phone banks. 7 pm ET. luma.com/i1ii8foa

My opponent has a shady dark money PAC attempting to bail his campaign out at the last minute. Nothing to see here, no panicking at all! All the signs of an incumbent flailing about at the last possible moment. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/24/n...

#ROATHMENTUM is real and we can win this race. But we're going to need all hands on deck to defeat a 25-year status quo incumbent. Join us Tuesday at 7pm ET for an all-volunteer call to get ready for GOTV. Please sign up now and let's finish strong: luma.com/i1ii8foa

A little rain was not about stop us from greeting early voters at the Murphy school in Dorchester!!

TODAY is the deadline to register to vote and the FIRST day of early voting! Get out there and cast those ballots!! I’ll be at early voting sites across the district this weekend — keep an eye out!

Can someone (safely!) post a photo or video of the Indivisible billboards that are up on 93 and 24? I saw the one in Brockton the other day for a half second. So cool.

Rep. Stephen Lynch is the only Democrat left in Congress who voted against the Affordable Care Act. And he voted for the Laken Riley Act despite representing a safe blue seat in Massachusetts. MA-08 deserves a real Democratic fighter like @patrickroath.bsky.social.

LFG! Send @patrickroath.bsky.social to Congress!

We endorse Patrick Roath for Congress in MA-08! Patrick isn’t just talking about fixing our democracy — he’s already won structural change, helping secure automatic voter registration and universal vote-by-mail in Massachusetts. Now he's ready to take the fight to DC. @patrickroath.bsky.social

🚨🚨 TOSS-UP! Today’s @bostonglobe.com headline on our race notes that our primary is a “toss-up”! Check out the whole piece here. And then come help us win! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/21/m...

Upon meeting @patrickroath.bsky.social: “Life goes forward, not backwards,” Fredi Walker, an 85-year-old Brockton resident said. “Nothing to do with [Lynch] on a personal level — I just don’t think that he’s relevant for this particular time.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/21/m...

Less than two weeks to go until election day and new polling shows that we’ve gained 15 points since July. Head to patrickroath.com right now to sign up to knock doors *and* chip in $10

I am absolutely thrilled to be endorsed by the Canton Democratic Town Committee! A real honor!

Southie Guy™ spends *more than half a million $$ in just the last few weeks* -- on *California* consultants, no less -- cuz he's... not worried about the challenge from @patrickroath.bsky.social ❓❓ 🤔 Stephen Lynch hears the clock ticking. ⌛️ patrickroath.com #MA08 #mapoli #bospoli

""As we have seen, new voices make comfortable institutions less comfortable—and often, that is exactly what those institutions need. I see the primary between Congressman Stephen Lynch and Patrick Roath as a natural extension of this conversation." ajustquincy.substack.com/p/im-voting-...

Another great candidate forum, another empty chair. Thank you Greater Brockton Young Professionals for hosting and to Luz Villar for moderating! Great conversation. I was disappointed but not surprised that @lynch.house.gov yet again no-showed.

I’ve been pals with @patrickroath.bsky.social since Tufts. But I know he’ll be a great Congressman for MA-08 (map below) because he’s *always* fought for causes we care about: voting rights, taking on ICE, ending Citizens United. , etc. 🗳️ Early voting 8/22-28, election Tues 9/1 patrickroath.com

15 days to go and we’re on the path to victory. Chip in $5 or sign up to knock doors at patrickroath.com

#ROATHMENTUM 🚨🚨New polling shows a 15 point swing in our favor since July. On September 1st, we will defeat a status-quo incumbent who voted to create, fund, expand, and thank ICE. Chip in $5 or sign up to canvass at patrickroath.com

Beautiful weekend out there meeting with voters at the August Moon Festival and across the district. Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who are out there knocking doors and warming up our big GOTV push!

About the other night…

Stephen Lynch told our people to our faces that he supported us, was with us — and then voted against us less than 10 minutes later while we were right there in the room.

For 25 years, Stephen Lynch has represented a safe blue seat in Massachusetts — despite voting against the Affordable Care Act, voting for the Laken Riley Act, and treating his constituents like this. MA-08 deserves a real Democratic fighter like @patrickroath.bsky.social!

Hey Rep. Lynch, I got your mailer, big mistake on the front. Embarrassing! Went ahead and fixed it:

Really enjoyed the candidate forum last night. I think it was a great opportunity for voters to see the real contrast and the consequential choice before us in this race. Do we want the politics of the past or a fighter for our future? Full video: videoplayer.telvue.com/player/5ZgpA...

We’re looking forward to talking to @patrickroath.bsky.social about his people-powered campaign to give MA-08 the real Democratic fighter it deserves! Plus, @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social answer your top-ranked questions. Join our weekly chat: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Can’t wait!!!
