The Reformer

Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.

Seth Moulton is a Congressman who advocates for reform and accountability within his party and the broader political system. This interview reveals his commitment to addressing systemic issues and fostering a more effective and principled approach to governance.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY REFORMER

Been re elected since then. He did have some, but I never ran on those. Literally never brought it up once during the campaign. But it was a tough district, actually. It's Massachusetts, but our Republican governor won the district by 13 points. It was on the front line list, so a top targeted district by the Republicans.

THE AXE FILES WITH DAVID AXELROD

Look, I'm flattered by the question and I appreciate the encouragement that a lot of people have given me, but the reality is that I am squarely focused on twenty eighteen. But if you're going to win in 2018, if we're going to take back the house in 2018, it means you have to travel and support candidates.
