Veteran Seth Moulton has represented the North Shore in the House since 2015.
A former Marine Corps officer, Moulton led one of the first infantry platoons to enter Baghdad. He served a total of four tours of duty in Iraq from 2003 to 2008. Moulton was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for valor after he led a platoon that cleared a hostile stronghold. He later received the Bronze Star Medal after “fearlessly [exposing] himself to enemy fire" during the 2004 Battle of Najaf.
After returning home from Iraq, Moulton used the GI Bill to earn joint degrees in business and public administration, and then became the managing director of Texas Central, where he worked to build America’s first high-speed rail line.
Moulton was prominently featured in the 2007 Academy Award-nominated documentary No End in Sight. In the film, he criticizes the US government's handling of the occupation of Iraq.
