Families across the Second Worcester District are feeling the strain of rising costs — from housing and utilities to groceries and health care. Senator Moore is working every day to make life more affordable for the people he represents. He has supported measures to protect homebuyers, expand access to affordable higher education, promote responsible energy policy that lowers costs, and reduce unnecessary financial burdens on working families.

Mike believes affordability isn’t a talking point, it’s a daily responsibility. He continues pushing for practical, commonsense policies that strengthen the housing supply, support small businesses, and ensure Worcester and our surrounding towns remain places where families can thrive.

Senator Mike Moore brings more than 20 years of law enforcement experience to Beacon Hill. As a former Environmental Police officer and former Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, he understands what it takes to keep communities safe. Mike has authored and supported legislation to protect vulnerable residents, strengthen school bus safety, and ensure law enforcement has the tools needed to maintain public safety while protecting constitutional rights. Keeping our neighborhoods safe remains one of his highest priorities.

Mike has led efforts to expand access to care and protect patients across Massachusetts. He helped pass legislation allowing pharmacists to prescribe hormonal birth control without unnecessary barriers and has worked to combat opioid abuse through prevention and accountability measures. Senator Moore has also strengthened protections for health care workers and supported policies that make our health system safer, more transparent, and more accessible for families throughout the Second Worcester District.

With a background investigating environmental crimes, Senator Moore has long been committed to protecting our natural resources. He led efforts to ban toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in firefighter protective gear and continues to advocate for strong state environmental standards. Mike supports expanding clean energy, responsible development, and policies that reduce emissions while protecting ratepayers. Protecting our environment and preserving it for future generations remains central to his work.

Senator Moore has always prioritized the economic well-being of working families and small businesses. As a former Millbury Selectman, he understands firsthand how local investment strengthens communities. During his tenure, Millbury made one of the largest economic investments in town history, expanding its commercial tax base and creating new opportunity.

In the Senate, Mike has focused on reducing unnecessary burdens on residents and small businesses, improving financial literacy, and supporting smart development that keeps our district competitive. He believes economic growth should benefit everyone — not just a few.

Mike believes state government must work in partnership with cities and towns. Representing Auburn, Grafton, Millbury, Shrewsbury, Westborough, and southeast Worcester, he works closely with local officials to secure funding, address community concerns, and deliver resources where they’re needed most. From public safety grants to school funding and local infrastructure improvements, Mike remains accessible, responsive, and focused on the needs of every community he serves.

Investing in infrastructure strengthens public safety, economic growth, and quality of life. Senator Moore supports targeted investments in roads, bridges, schools, water systems, and public safety equipment to ensure communities remain safe and competitive. He has backed efforts to modernize transportation, improve traffic safety through technology, and support long-term planning that protects taxpayers while improving essential services across the district.
