Housing shouldn’t be out of reach for the families who call Worcester home. I’ll be a state representative who shows up, listens, and fights for the people of this district—not just at election time, but every day. 🗳️ Vote Ron Waddell for State Representative on September 1.
Leadership. Community. Results. I’m running for State Representative because I believe the people of the 15th Worcester District deserve a representative who is accessible, accountable, and focused on getting things done. 📍 Learn more at WaddellForWorcester.com
Small businesses aren’t just the backbone of our economy—they’re the heart of our neighborhoods. I understand the challenges business owners face. We need to support entrepreneurs, encourage innovation, and invest in local businesses so our communities can thrive.
Inclusion is about more than who’s in the room—it’s about making sure lived experiences help shape the decisions we make. When every voice has a seat at the table, we build stronger policies, stronger communities, and a stronger Worcester. #WaddellForWorcester #CommunityFirst #Leadership
🚔 Honored to earn the endorsement of the New England Police Benevolent Association. I’m grateful for the confidence and support of NEPBA and its more than 5,000 members across New England. Thank you to the New England Police Benevolent Association for your endorsement and your trust. #RonWaddell
Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing Worcester families. Young professionals, seniors, and working families all deserve access to safe, affordable housing. We need to think creatively, build more housing, and find innovative ways to meet the growing demand.
Strong communities are built through trust, collaboration, and leadership that brings people together. I’m honored to have the endorsement of Kate Toomey, Worcester City Councilor At-Large and Chair of the Public Safety Committee. Thank you, Kate, for your confidence in our campaign.
Homelessness doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. We need leaders who understand the challenges people face and can help connect them with the resources they need. Compassion, trust, and practical solutions must go hand in hand. #WaddellForWorcester
George Street doesn’t care that this was my first real climb on a bike. That hill is steep. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. Grateful and humbled to have been part of it today. Thank you to the Seven Hills Wheelmen and everyone who make this event possible. 🚲
Strong communities start with strong support systems. Investing in community-based mental health workers means helping people before a crisis becomes an emergency. It’s a smart investment that strengthens public safety, creates opportunity, and builds healthier neighborhoods.
Public safety starts long before a crime is committed. When we invest in prevention, recovery, youth programs, and community resources, we build safer neighborhoods for everyone. These aren’t optional services—they’re essential to the strength and well-being of our community.
🚨 Don’t Forget! Our Campaign Fundraiser is coming up on Thursday, August 6 at 5:30 PM at El Basha Restaurant & Bar. Come meet supporters from across the district, hear more about our vision for Worcester, and help us build the momentum needed to win this campaign. I hope you’ll join us!
Representation matters. For far too long, many young people have never seen someone with a story like theirs represented at the State House. I believe every child should grow up knowing their voice matters and that leadership is within their reach.
’m proud to receive the endorsement of Dianna Biancheria, Worcester School Committee Member for District C. Thank you, Dianna, for your trust and partnership.
Today, I had the honor of serving as a reader for the 250th anniversary of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in Worcester. A vote for me will ensure your voice is represented at the State House; I’m committed to helping fulfill that promise for every resident, every day.
Great night on the court with some awesome kids from the district. Building stronger neighborhoods starts with showing up, listening, and investing in the next generation. Thanks for letting me join the game!
Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about showing up. I’m honored to have the endorsement of former District 2 City Councilor Candy Carlson. Candy spent years serving Worcester and understands what effective representation looks like: being accessible and putting the community first.

History has a way of putting things into perspective. It was an honor to take part in Worcester’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence—standing where Isaiah Thomas once shared those words with the people of Worcester. 🇺🇸
July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that mental health care should be accessible to everyone. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, supported life. I would be honored to earn your vote for State Representative on September 1.
Healthy communities grow from the ground up. 🌱 It was great visiting the Regional Environmental Council’s new greenhouses and seeing the impact urban agriculture has on Worcester. I’m proud to support organizations that invest in our neighborhoods and our future.

UMass Memorial nurses continue showing up to care for our families while working without a contract. I stand with the Massachusetts Nurses Association and the nurses fighting for a fair contract. www.boston25news.com/news/local/m...

🇬🇷 Great running into a fellow District 15 resident at Worcester’s Greek Festival! One of the best parts of this campaign is connecting with neighbors and celebrating the communities that make Worcester special. Here’s to another 50 years! #WorcesterMA
As I travel across Worcester meeting residents, I continue to see the same thing: people who care deeply about their neighborhoods and want to leave them better than they found them. The welcoming spirit on display tonight is exactly the kind of Worcester I want to champion on Beacon Hill.
🇬🇷 Some traditions are worth celebrating. 50 years of music, dancing, family, and community at Worcester’s Greek Festival. Here’s to the next 50. ❤️ Worcester is better because of the people and cultures that call it home. #WorcesterMA #GreekFestival
