Dear Natick and Wayland Voters:

 

I respectfully ask for your vote in the Democratic primary election on September 1, 2026, and the General Election on November 3, 2026. I have devoted my career to our community, our Commonwealth, and our nation. I have been focused on serving you to the best of my ability–one person, one family, one issue at a time. I am proud of all that I have accomplished and look forward to continuing that work.

​

As you may know, I have lived in Natick my entire life. I went to Natick public schools and raised my own sons here. After college and law school, I served the Commonwealth for 14 years as an Assistant District Attorney for Middlesex County. Since then, I have been proud to have been elected as a State Representative for the past 27 years.

​

I have found that this job comes with three central responsibilities, the first being the most visible: legislative work. This includes passing legislation that meets the needs of our community, fighting for the initiatives that matter most deeply to our neighbors, and championing the causes that make our Commonwealth great. In my time on Beacon Hill, I have led legislation that brings us closer to a world free from the threat of gun violence, that expands and protects reproductive choice, and ensures that all our residents, regardless of their origin, have their equal rights protected under the law.

​

The second responsibility of this position is advocating and delivering for my district, ensuring the people of Natick and Wayland receive their fair share of state funding, grants, and projects. My record on this issue is unmatched, having secured the funding that facilitated the construction of the new Natick High School, the Kennedy and Wilson Middle Schools, the Natick Community Senior Center, and countless other local projects. I have increased state aid and grants to the District to record levels, saving local taxpayers millions of dollars every year and working every day to make this community the best in the Commonwealth, if not the country.

​

Lastly, and the responsibility that I believe to be the most important part of being your state representative, is constituent service. My office and I have helped over 5,000 families across my district with issues surrounding health insurance, unemployment, disability services, housing protections, SNAP benefits, and countless other issues throughout my time on the Hill. I wholeheartedly believe that the core purpose of my work is to make the government work for you, the resident, which is why I hold meeting this third responsibility as my office’s ultimate priority across all my work.

​

However, in this most recent legislative session, I have found that there is a new critically important fourth responsibility to meet, and that is protecting Massachusetts values and programs from the Trump Administration and its attacks on our Commonwealth and people. This federal administration, as led by President Donald J. Trump, has exemplified a callous and blatant disregard for the core values of our Commonwealth and our nation as a whole, passing legislation and implementing policies that work to attack and harm our communities and some of our most marginalized neighbors and residents.

​

Working to protect you, my constituents, from the actions of President Trump and his reckless administration is now a central priority in my work as your state representative, and I look forward to continuing to meet this challenge as long as I am in public office. Whether it's keeping our towns affordable, continuing to deliver world-class public education and health care, or ensuring continued economic growth, I am excited to meet these challenges head-on, and I respectfully ask for your continued support and your vote in the Democratic Primary on September 1 and in the General Election on November 3.
 

Sincerely,

David P. Linsky
