Senator Steven A. Baddour was first elected to the Massachusetts Senate in January of 2002. Since then, he has worked to generate reform, protect vital services, and safeguard the interests of his constituents in the First Essex District.

Steve’s work as a legislator is part of a longstanding commitment to advocacy and community service. As an Assistant Attorney General, he established a reputation for fighting to protect working people that he continues to foster as a Senator.

Senator Baddour has remained a consistent voice for working families and taxpayers. In addition to being named a Guardian of Small Business by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, Steve was awarded Legislator of the Year by the Massachusetts Municipal Association for his role in securing funding for cities and towns to repair and build local roads.

As Chairman of the Joint Committee on Transportation since 2003, Senator Baddour has focused his efforts on reforming the state’s transportation hierarchy. By eliminating the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, curbing overly generous pension benefits at the MBTA, and using civilian flaggers on roadway construction sites, the Transportation Reform Act has helped make the repair and construction of our roads, rail systems, and other modes of travel more efficient.

Senator Baddour gears his work not only toward reform, but toward practical changes that can improve the lives of the people he represents. In 2008, Baddour voted for a $100 million economic stimulus and job creation bill that included workforce training and encouraged investment in small business. He is also the sponsor of the toughest environmental protection bill passed in decades, a longtime guardian of the Prescription Advantage program to help seniors afford medications, an active participant in auto insurance reform that lowers rates and gives consumers greater choice, and a staunch supporter of education, securing millions of dollars to support public schools, community colleges, and adult basic education centers across the district.

Senator Baddour’s passionate advocacy stems from longstanding personal ties to the community. A life-long resident of Methuen, Steve attended Methuen public schools and received his B.A. from the University of Massachusetts and his J.D. from the Massachusetts School of Law. He lives with his wife, Ann, and two young daughters, Isabella and Victoria, in Methuen.
