About Davis Thach
A believer in the American Dream with deep roots in our community and a proven track record of service
My Story
I'm Davis Thach, a longtime resident of Worcester and Cherry Valley. My family immigrated from Vietnam in 1988, and Massachusetts has been our home ever since.
I graduated from Doherty High and studied at Clark University, Hillsdale College, and New England School of Law—an education built on public policy and leadership. It laid the groundwork for a career centered on service, community, and getting results.
As chairman of the U.S. Cross Cultural Association, I've worked to connect communities and support families throughout our district. I started in public service at the Worcester Housing Authority, where I saw firsthand the struggles working families face.
Today, I lead Boston Redevelopment Planning Inc., helping residents cut through red tape—navigating zoning laws, public hearings, and the bureaucracy that too often stands in the way.
I'm proud to be part of the Asian-American community, and I ask for your support—especially from Vietnamese voters across Massachusetts. Together, we'll make real change happen for all our families.

Fighting for Our District
Focused on results that actually make a difference for working families
We need affordable homes, not empty promises. I'll push for real reforms that build housing fast, protect tenants, and support first-time buyers with practical solutions that work.
Let's give companies a break—no taxes for the first 5–10 years—so they can grow, hire local, and drive our economy. Small businesses are the backbone of our community.
Imagine every home with free, clean energy from local, independent sources. That's not a dream— it's the future I'll fight for. Energy independence means lower costs and stronger communities.
As a proud member of the Asian-American community, I understand the importance of diverse voices in government. Together, we'll ensure every community has a seat at the table.
Public Safety
Supporting our police and first responders while ensuring safe neighborhoods for all families.
