QUINCY! Join me next Thursday, May 14th at 5:30pm for a conversation and Q&A. Unlike our Congressman who hasn't had an in-person town hall since 2019, I believe in meeting voters where they're at and taking their questions. Sign up at: luma.com/sererfnl See you there!

Town meeting season, come find us out there!!!

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

hey we’re on the ballot!!!

Had such a great time meeting with and hearing from voters in Westwood this afternoon!

May Day was a huge success. Great getting out there yesterday to stand with labor and against facist authoritarianism!

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“What the Roberts Court is making possible,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues, “is a country where white people can maintain their political dominance at the expense of Americans who are not white.” He examines what to expect following the Voting Rights Act ruling:

“It’s not that Congressman Lynch is too old, or he’s bad, or he’s corrupt — it’s just that the times demand something different," Patrick Roath said. Fully onboard with this view.

I lived in MA-08 for many years until the redistricting in 2012 put me in MA-07. Was pissed off at the time because it meant something to be in Tip O'Neill's old district. MA-08 is DEFINITELY ready for a younger more progressive voice. Patrick Roath has a good chance to send Stephen Lynch packing!

I think it's a bullish sign for the Dem Tea Party that, once voters realize that Stephen Lynch is an incumbent, they're instantly 20% less likely to vote for him.

Attorney Patrick Roath says he raised $288,000 in first quarter of 2026 for his Democratic primary campaign against Rep. Stephen Lynch, who has spent much of his 25 years in Congress frustrating progressives. #MA08

finally!

🚨 Proud to announce that another dozen local elected officials in MA-08 have endorsed our campaign! 🚨 These local leaders are some of the most determined, dedicated, and compassionate people that we have in our communities. I'm honored to have earned their support.

Some coverage here from NPR of our continued success fueling this movement through grassroots supporters! Let’s go!! www.npr.org/2026/04/23/n...

Indivisible Hingham Hull has endorsed Patrick Roath in the Democratic primary for MA-08, noting "At our April meeting, IHH voted to endorse Patrick Roath for Congress in the Democratic primary against incumbent Congressman Stephen Lynch. Roath’s platform aligns with our values." patrickroath.com

Thrilled to share a great profile that just ran in the Boston Globe! Take a look! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/20/m...

Yes youtu.be/S9UPcQ3IlZY?...

I'm encouraged by the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. I also think we need to apply more American pressure to stop Israel from bombing civilian neighborhoods in Lebanon in a campaign that has already killed thousands and displaced over a million people.

🚀 We raised almost DOUBLE what our opponent did in Q1 of 2026. 🚀 ...and we did it without taking a cent of corporate PAC money, unlike his campaign. Less than 5 months to go until Election Day and we've got the momentum. Thank you to all who've made this possible!

100% would co-sponsor. We need to this now.

🚨Our campaign just posted our best fundraising quarter ever, and we’ve now raised over $900,000 since launch.🚨 To all who’ve supported this campaign, I owe you a deep and profound thank you. Let’s win!

It was a great honor and a total blast to chat with @rbhubbell.bsky.social for his Today's Edition newsletter about our campaign in MA-08! Check out the video of our whole conversation in (appropriately) today's edition! roberthubbell.substack.com/p/as-another...

This is today! Come join us!!

President Trump is demonstrating that he is incompetent to serve. 25th Amendment now.

Come walk the Freedom Trail with me and @davidhogg.bsky.social. There will be cannolis. Sign up here: partiful.com/e/RXzcqDdo5N...

Happy Easter from our on-site bunny 🐰

I was thrilled to host Patrick, who’s running to represent MA8, at our most recent No Kings in Quincy. He definitely inspired all the rally goers looking for real change in DC.

We're thrilled to be endorsed by the many dedicated volunteers comprising @prowroxroz.bsky.social! Thank you for support! Let's go win this thing!!

Today is the last day of the first fundraising quarter of the election year. Brodie really wants you to chip in $5 to defeat the status quo. Thank you!! secure.actblue.com/donate/roath...

lol yeah I can imagine

An amazing No Kings Day for the country and for this campaign! Great seeing everyone at protests across the district. Particularly huge thanks to all the volunteers who were out there gathering signatures for us! I think we had at least one person at every protest!

Glad to see @patrickroath.bsky.social at Quincy No Kings!

Spent my afternoon at a local No Kings event, and collected signatures (my first time!), for a primary challenger to Stephen Lynch, @patrickroath.bsky.social! Voting alone won’t save us, but we can do waaaay better than Lynch. #ma-08

Great to have Leader Jeffries in the 8th district (where this event was held) commemorating the passage of the ACA with Rep. Pressley. We deserve a member of Congress who can proudly show up for expanding healthcare access. Not one who voted AGAINST the ACA! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/23/m...

More ICE out pics @patrickroath.bsky.social

People tend to be skeptical when I talk about making progress on big problems like housing at the national level. But it’s happening right now! Senator Warren championed an important housing bill through the Senate! Requires leadership. www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

Yesterday, I proudly stood with advocates in Brockton calling to get ICE out of our courts. ICE has become a rogue politicized agency that is violating the Constitution and making us less safe— it needs to be reined in and dismantled.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! A holiday that was historically very confusing to me because my mom told me it was all about me when I was five and it took a few years for me to discover that was not the case!! ☘️🤪

Let’s go @patrickroath.bsky.social

Amazing poll results for a first time candidate challenging a long time incumbent. Especially this early in the campaign. @patrickroath.bsky.social is the real deal. #mapoli

🚨🚨Poll alert!🚨🚨We just got the first polling data for our race back and it confirms what we’ve been seeing on the ground. Voters are READY FOR CHANGE. When voters learn just a 2-sentence bio of me and our opponent, we win by 15 points!

St. Patrick’s Day breakfast was really fun! Great seeing everyone and have a safe parade! ☘️

I never miss the Chinese Progressive Association’s annual banquet — last night it was particularly great to be there to see the fantastic @quincyvotes.bsky.social team honored!

Reminder to join us this Sunday at 7 pm for a Candidate Conversation featuring @persisyu.bsky.social & @patrickroath.bsky.social -- Persis is challenging state sen. Mike Rush and Patrick is running against MA-08 Rep. Stephen Lynch. Register at tinyurl.com/JPPCandidate...!

As a proud Irish American by background, it was such a thrill to join the Irish Cultural Centre yesterday evening to kick off the St. Patrick’s Day season! ☘️

More and more Democrats who voted for this Trump immigration bill are now reversing course and admitting they made a mistake. Will Representative Lynch join them? Keep asking.

My first steps into political activism were to protest and call out the war in Iraq when I was in high school. We are not going to line up behind another senseless, stupid, mistaken, forever war. Especially without any attempt by this administration to justify its actions.

If there is some kind of imminent threat that precludes Congressional deliberation, the Administration has to make its case for that. We've seen none of it so far.
