STATE REPRESENTATIVE
DAVE ROGERS
ARLINGTON | BELMONT | CAMBRIDGE
ENDORSED BY GOVERNOR MAURA HEALEY
Your Progressive Leader On Beacon Hill
Meet Dave
Dave Rogers is equipped with years of public service experience ranging from the U.S. Capitol, White House, and Criminal Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, previous work as an economic consultant, and Law Degree from American University. With these skills, and almost two decades of legal practice at one of Boston’s leading firms, Dave has served his community as their Representative for four terms.
Dave Rogers’ service in the State House has led him to a leadership position, where he now serves as Chair of the House Committee on Cannabis Policy. He is also a member of the MBTA Caucus, and the Steering Committee of the Progressive Caucus in the House, where he plays a role in both shaping public policy and formulating legislative strategy to help advance those policy goals.
Why I’m Running
Public service has always been about one simple idea: making government work for the people it serves.
Throughout my time in the Legislature, I've worked every day to deliver real results for Belmont, Arlington, and Cambridge. Together, we've expanded access to higher education by making community college tuition-free, defended reproductive freedom, fought for housing affordability, protected immigrant families, invested in clean energy, and secured millions of dollars for local schools, parks, nonprofits, and neighborhood improvements.
But our work is far from finished.
Families across Massachusetts continue to face rising housing costs, an uncertain economy, and growing challenges that demand thoughtful, effective leadership. I believe government works best when it listens to people, brings communities together, and delivers practical solutions that improve everyday life. That's the approach I've always taken, and it's the approach I'll continue to bring to the State House.
I'm running because I believe every child deserves a great public education, every family deserves an affordable place to call home, every worker deserves dignity and opportunity, and every resident deserves a representative who is accessible, responsive, and committed to getting things done.
I'm proud of what we've accomplished together, but I'm even more excited about what lies ahead. With your support, we'll continue building stronger schools, safer neighborhoods, a cleaner environment, a more affordable Commonwealth, and an economy that creates opportunity for everyone.
It is the honor of my life to serve the people of Belmont, Arlington, and Cambridge. I would be grateful for the opportunity to continue earning your trust and fighting for our community every day.
Let’s make a difference.

“Incredible climate champion”
Senator Markey describing Dave Rogers’ work on climate issues at the state level, during the Senator’s announcement of the Green New Deal in Massachusetts.
We are living through an era of transformational change in which both government and the larger society are grappling with great challenges. But it is important to remember this: those great challenges also present enormous opportunities. While there is some cynicism toward government, particularly given recent dysfunction in Washington, DC, I want my constituents to know that — every single day working in state legislature — I see how it can be a positive force, helping people in need and moving our society forward. I also see that no public official can be successful without the sustained engagement of his or her constituents, so I hope to continue to build on the countless wonderful relationships I have developed.
Please know that your voice really does matter greatly and I hope you will use this website and other avenues to communicate with me and play the most important role of all in our democracy — active citizen.
