Jake was born and raised in the Massachusetts Fourth Congressional District he now represents, the son of a surgeon and a scientist. They taught him the values of curiosity and integrity. He and his older brother and sister grew up in the Jewish faith tradition and attended the Newton Public Schools. His 2nd-grade teacher saw he loved to read and gave him books on United States history. He was hooked.
Congress must vigorously support and defend the Constitution to protect the republic from a corrupt president who believes he is above the law, who politicizes the judiciary, law enforcement, military, and scientific institutions, and who invited foreign interference into our elections.
Jake publicly called for an impeachment inquiry in 2017, and maintains that President Trump is wholly unfit for office. As a member of Congress, Jake is committed to strengthening Congressional oversight, using the power of appropriations to prevent abuses, and reinforcing the rule of law.
