Jamaica Plain resident Patrick Roath is running for Congress, banking on that his message to strengthen access to healthcare, support reproductive rights, and stand up to the federal administration’s immigration policies, will enable him to defeat a longtime incumbent.
Roath answered questions from Jamaica Plain News about why he is running and what he wants to accomplish, and why feels the Democratic Party needs to be the party that makes democracy work, not just the “Trump is bad” party.
Congressional elections will take place next year, as Roath looks to represent the Democratic Party in the 8th Congressional district.
