David LeBoeuf is a lifelong Worcester resident and proud graduate of the district’s public schools. His background — as a small business advisor, family advocate for survivors of domestic violence, and community leader committed to boosting access to healthcare and affordable housing — informs his ongoing fight for the causes that matter most to our communities. As our state representative, David is delivering for our district and working to build a Commonwealth that works for everyone.
David Henry Argosky LeBoeuf was born and raised in Worcester. His grandfather Henry Bonardi was the founding union steward for Teamsters Local 170 at Consolidated Beverages. His mom Carol, also a lifelong Worcester resident, is a retired nurse from St. Vincent Hospital and former member of the MNA. His dad Paul, a former Army medic, continues to work in the medical field.
David attended Heard Street Discovery Academy and Sullivan Middle School, graduating from South High in 2008 as valedictorian and class president. He started college at Clark University before transferring to Harvard College as one of only 13 transfer students admitted internationally. David graduated in 2013 with a concentration in Social Studies (Community Engagement and Urban Social Change) and a secondary field in Spanish.
David showed an interest in public service, advocacy, and local government from a young age. While in high school, he organized his classmates to make the case for increased school funding at Worcester City Council meetings and was selected for the U.S. Senate Youth Program. While he was in college, he filmed meetings of the Worcester School Committee for local government access television (Channel 12) and covered the Cambridge City Council for the Harvard Crimson. David also interned with the Worcester District Office of Congressman Jim McGovern and the Consumer Advocacy and Response and Fair Labor Divisions of the Attorney General’s Central Massachusetts Office. He was awarded the Presidential Public Service Fellowship and ultimately wrote his senior thesis on political participation among Worcester’s Liberian and Vietnamese communities.
During this time, David became involved as a mentor and later board member with the African Community Education program (ACE) in Worcester, which provides African refugee and immigrant youth and their families with academic advising, leadership development, and community support. He volunteered on reconstruction efforts south of Santiago after the 2010 Chile earthquake as part of a Language and Public Service Program and then was hired as a research assistant to a professor in the Institute for Quantitative Social Science examining Latino voter engagement.
One of David’s first paid jobs was as an interim staff assistant in the Worcester City Manager’s Office. There he assisted with press relations, provided extra support for the License Commission, attended meetings of the City Council and its subcommittees, and developed directories for public health services and resource guides for seniors and people with disabilities. David also worked on special projects including economic development campaigns and the response to the Asian longhorned beetle infestation.
