Where do you even start with the vile bullshit this man in spouting? He's a monster.

Also increasingly feels like he's circling the drain, falling back on the stuff that got him started. Birth certificates, etc. Not going to end well.

We officially out-raised our opponent in 2025!

This campaign, for a first-time candidate, raised more money in less time than an incumbent with 24 years of fundraising experience – and we did it 100% from individual donors.

Thank you to everybody who chipped in!

Teamwork makes the dream work! I enjoyed working with so many other @indivisible.org and @progressivemass.bsky.social groups on this candidate forum. @patrickroath.bsky.social answered tough questions and shared his vision for the district. Get to know him, MA-08 voters!

I had such a blast at last night’s candidate forum! Thanks so much to everyone who joined in person and virtually!

One person who did not join: my opponent, Congressman Stephen Lynch.

I’m disappointed that he elected not to attend. It would’ve been a better conversation.

Cold outside but the crowd inside warmed up listening to @patrickroath.bsky.social answer questions about MA-08 race & issues. Hoped to hear from Lynch too. Great collaboration of @indivisible.org & @progressivemass.bsky.social groups across the district.

Help us beat the last remaining Dem congressman who voted AGAINST the Affordable Care Act (oh, and Rep. Stephen Lynch also voted to "thank ICE" and expand deportations in a safe blue Massachusetts seat). Proud to endorse @patrickroath.bsky.social! Chip in πŸ‘‡ secure.actblue.com/donate/lwdwe...

We deserve a leader who’s ready to meet this moment, for our country and our communities.

I’m Patrick Roath and I’m running for Congress to fight for what matters.

What a fantastic coffee hour this morning in Canton. People are scared at the direction our country is headed and they're furious that some of our democratic leaders are nowhere to be found in this fight.

Thank you to my friend Mary at Orchard Cove for the invite!

TikTok, what the actual hell.

We had some big news today (some might have noticed!) and it's like the platform completely dissolved overnight if you want to talk about anything political.

Absolutely wild and frightening state-controlled takeover.

I'm beyond proud to announce our campaign is endorsed by David Hogg & Leaders We Deserve.

If you're sick and tired of status-quo Democrats who watch and do nothing as costs skyrocket and our communities are terrorized, then I ask you to join me at patrickroath.com.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

A few more thoughts from me on the latest ICE violence and thuggery.

What I’m seeing in this video is cowardice and completely out of control tyranny. This agency is indefensible.

The ongoing federal assault on Minneapolis continues to have entirely predictable and seemingly intended results. This has to stop.

Very proud to announce more endorsements for our campaign today.

For the last 9 months I've prioritized meeting with community leaders across the South Shore & Boston suburbs, and I am honored to have earned the support of these incredible local officials.

More to come!
