TCG Leadership Series
Conversation with
Congressman Jake Auchincloss
U.S. Representative of Massachusetts 4th District
Monday, September 22nd from 3:45PM - 4:30PM on Zoom
As part of The Common Good Leadership Series, TCG is honored to welcome Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), a Marine Corps veteran and rising national leader known for his integrity and results-driven approach to politics. A former Marine captain who commanded infantry in Afghanistan, Auchincloss has become a leading advocate for innovation, cost‑of‑living relief and a re‑imagined Democratic agenda.
Since taking office in 2021, Congressman Auchincloss has spearheaded legislation to address the fentanyl crisis and championed AI regulation. A vocal advocate for bold, forward-thinking policies, he has called on his party to rethink the status quo—proposing the repurposing of public land for new cities, and advocating for taxes on digital ads and junk food to fund healthcare and journalism. Auchincloss has also pushed for eliminating primaries to create a more responsive and inclusive democratic process.
As the country grapples with soaring costs, technological upheaval and political fragmentation, Auchincloss offers a different perspective on how to build a sustainable middle class and revitalize a new democracy for our future. Join us for a candid conversation with this forward‑thinking Marine‑turned‑Congressman.
