Michelle M. DuBois is a Democratic member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. She was elected in November 2014 [1][2] to represent the 10th Plymouth District (West Bridgewater, the east side of Brockton, and Precinct 1 of East Bridgewater) and was sworn in on January 7, 2015. Rep. DuBois was re-elected to a second term on November 8, 2016, after running uncontested.[3]

In late March 2017, Rep. DuBois worked to compromise a supposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a raid in Brockton, Massachusetts by posting a warning on Facebook.[4][5]

In 2018 she called for a sign at the Massachusetts State House honoring General Joseph Hooker to be removed, stating that his name was a “double entendre” that was “tone deaf” and “patriarchal”.[6]

  • Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government
  • Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs
