Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
As a 24-year South End resident with his partner, Michael, and their dog, Edna, decades-long executive leadership experience at three of metro-Boston’s largest companies, and years of affordable housing advocacy with multiple community organizations in the South End and Roxbury, John is ready to lead Suffolk’s 9th District.
He was born into a big Irish family based in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and was raised by his mom and stepfather. They instilled in him the importance of giving back to his community. His mother was an avid volunteer for many organizations. His stepfather was an elected County Tax Collector for over 20 years. Their home was a welcoming place for all in their community. John grew up understanding that living in a neighborhood means giving back to it.
From the Polish Triangle to Orchard Park to Copley Square to the South End, John Moran wants to represent all residents of Massachusetts House of Representatives’ 9th Suffolk district on Beacon Hill.
For John, every constituent is a neighbor and working to help his neighbors and fighting for what’s right is a lifelong calling.
